"It should ...... It should be a killer raised by Pei Fu. "I took two big gulps of cold air to reduce the bitterness in my mouth, and it was inevitable that my speech would be a little unsmooth.

"Peilu's people?" Mei Yan wasn't much surprised, but compared to Pei Lulai, he hoped that the one who wanted to kill me would be a killer organization that had been in the limelight recently-Blood Alliance.

After all, Pei Lu is a member of the imperial court, how can the killers under him really have the ruthless methods that he has experienced in the rivers and lakes? I don't know when or how long it will take to complete the task.

"You seem disappointed?" I'm angry.

This guy!

Mei Yan flatly denied, "No." ”

Obviously!

I shouted in my heart, but on my face I didn't care about him.

"Just leave these people to me to deal with, go back quickly, Gu Xiang should have been waiting for you for a long time."

Mei Yan didn't want to meddle in my affairs in the first place, but when he heard my words, he just shook his hands and left.

"You'd better not hold a sword for a month, or I won't save you if something happens to your right hand." Mei Yan seemed to be very impatient with the fact that I was always getting hurt at every turn, but his words made me feel a little sorry for him.

A dignified generation of miracle doctors, it is really difficult for him to always worry about me as a patient, not to mention that he hates me so much and hates the people of Qinguo.

"Mei Yan." I stopped him as he left.

"What's the matter?" Mei Yan frowned and turned back.

"Thank you, and thank you, Miss Muying." I bowed solemnly.

Mei Yan didn't expect me to do this, he was stunned for a rare moment, and at the end, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

"There are no two things in the world, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, think about it yourself."

Fish and bear's paws?

I'm blindfolded.

"Take care, Childe." Mu Ying bowed to me and followed Mei Yan away.

"This Mei Yan, when you talk to me seriously, why can't people understand it?" I tried to think hard about the meaning of his words, but to no avail, I had to get into the carriage first.

"Childe, are you still going to Qizhou?" The groom asked outside.

"Hmm." I answered, leaning lightly against the wall behind me.

After this war, the emperor will definitely focus all his attention on domestic affairs, and the first person to suffer at that time may be Qizhou.

No matter what, I have to block Du Rong so that he has time to implement his plan.

As for whether the emperor will be suspicious of me because of this...... Now I can't care about it, the big deal is that I will be dismissed, and I will not be cut off by my head.

I made up my mind that I no longer thought about what the consequences would be after the incident, in short, the most important thing was the moment.

The carriage hurried overnight, and after walking for more than half a month, it finally arrived at the foot of a plain mountain ten miles away in Qizhou before the moon.

There is still a day to go, and I will be able to meet Master and Mrs. and Du Rong.

I am happy in my heart, although the weather is so cold that my hands are almost stiff, but I am more looking forward to seeing Master and Master than this.

It's been a long, long time since I've seen Master and Master, and I don't know if they've changed now, can they still recognize me at a glance?

I looked down at my hands, then at my robe.

It should be possible, right? I'm just taller and more handsome than I used to be.

"Childe, are we going to take a night off today, or will we go around the mountains overnight and enter the city of Qizhou?" The coachman asked me out loud.

I thought for a moment and said to him, "Let's find a place to rest first, and we'll walk the mountain road early tomorrow morning." ”

Winter is cold, it gets dark early, and it is really dangerous to walk the mountain road overnight, even if I am in a hurry now, but I can't ignore the realistic conditions.

It's just a day's journey, and it's not good for me to be so impatient.

"Yes." The coachman answered, and as I had said, drove the carriage to an inn and stopped, and when he had alighted me, he unloaded the carriage and led the horses to graze.

"I didn't expect there to be an inn in such a remote place." I was curious, and I couldn't help but mutter.

"There are a lot of guests here every day, some go to Qizhou, some come out of Qizhou, if there is no place to settle here, I'm afraid the weather is cold, and there are many people like guest officials who will sleep in the wilderness, right?" First Literary Network

The sound of teasing came from behind me, and I turned around to see a little girl of thirteen or fourteen walking towards the inn carrying a small basket made of bamboo.

Her bamboo basket is full of ice-leaved grass picked from the mountain, and the color of the ice-leaved grass is bright, and it seems that she is very skilled in grass-picking skills.

"The girl is right, but she is stupid." I arched my hand to her, apologizing for her words.

"Lan'er, you're doing tricks again!" A person suddenly came out of the inn, and began to scold the little girl in front of me, "They are all guests from afar, why do you always like to make things difficult for them?" How many times have I told you, accept your wayward temper, learn from other girls, be reserved, be generous, you just don't listen! ”

"Daddy!" The little girl was very aggrieved: "Why do you reprimand me indiscriminately every time?" I didn't hit her, I didn't scold her, she wanted to apologize to me, could it be that this is also my fault? ”

"The shopkeeper, this time it really has nothing to do with Ling Ai, it was because I felt that my words and deeds were wrong, so I apologized to Ling Ai, and asked the shopkeeper not to blame her." I saw that the little girl was about to cry aggrieved, so I quickly stepped forward and explained to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper also knew that his words had rushed a little just now, and now when he saw his daughter's aggrieved expression, his heart had already softened, and with my explanation, the anger that was full of anger disappeared directly.

"Go back to the house, your mother has something to look for you." Although the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, his tone was obviously a lot softer.

"Humph!" The little girl glared at me angrily, thrust the basket in her hand into the shopkeeper's arms, and ran into the inn with her skirt in her hand.

"You girl!" The shopkeeper wanted to be angry but couldn't get angry, so he could only watch the little girl run away and shook his head helplessly.

"Ling Ai is really a straightforward character." I laughed.

The shopkeeper sighed and welcomed me in, "Her temper, I and his mother may not be able to worry about it in the future, forget it, don't talk about these bad things, Childe hurry up and please, I will immediately ask Xiao Er to clean up a first-class room for you,"

"I want two, and my coachman will lead the horses to feed the grass."

"Oh, look at my memory, I must order Xiao Er to do it immediately."

I smiled at the shopkeeper and didn't say anything superfluous.

Because it is a small inn at the foot of the mountain, there is no such thing as a private room or an indecent room, but as the little girl said, I don't have to sleep in the wilderness, I live in it, and I am very happy.

"Childe, there is a visitor."

As soon as I finished dinner, the driver's voice suddenly appeared outside the door, and I was suspicious, but I still opened the door.

"It's you." I was surprised, "Ye Shilang." ”

"Your Excellency." Someone bowed down and saluted me.

"Ye Shilang, please come in." I opened the door wide and welcomed Ye Juezhi in.

"Ye Shilang came all the way here, he didn't come here to find me, right?" I poured a cup of tea and put it in Ye Juezhi's hand.

Ye Juezhi looked at my look and knew that I didn't want any people from the court to come to me, but things in the world often couldn't come true, although he didn't want to bring me any bad news, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and he couldn't help it.

"Xia Guan really didn't come to you on purpose." Ye Juezhi nodded along with me, but this directly made my heart cool by half.

"I have already written to the emperor, stating that I am ill and cannot support it, and I need a few months to recuperate, and the war that does not reach the country will be arranged by Gu Xiang of Qi State, and I will also let the old marshal and General Jiang Xiao deal with the border defense of my Daqin." I reluctantly tried to rebel against the following: "All things, I promise to be absolutely perfect, nothing will go wrong." ”

"The lower officials must believe in the ability and arrangement of the adults." Ye Juezhi was also embarrassed when he saw that I reacted so much, "It's just that the emperor has already issued a holy decree......"

I sighed, "What should come will come, so you can make a decree." ”

Ye Juezhi hesitated and didn't move.

"What's wrong?" I wonder.

"Actually......" Ye Juezhi got up hesitantly, took out an emerald jade box from his sleeve and put it in front of me, "The emperor just explained this to you, and didn't say anything else." ”

I frowned, hesitated, and finally cracked it open.

It's a Red Lotus Order.

The scorching red lotus blooms in the dark night, as if Bodhi has entered the world in an instant, and the tranquility and serenity are full of unquestionable majesty.

High up, dust-free.

The ancestral system, those who wear its orders, such as the saint in person, all the ministers worship, no one can reverse.

"This time, the two countries of Qinqi formed an alliance to defeat the barbarians, and the powerful relationship between them is known to adults." Ye Juezhi was stunned when he saw me, and he refused to pick up the Red Lotus Order for a long time, and he couldn't help but become anxious in his heart, "The emperor doesn't want anything to happen in it, and my lord should understand." ”

"Change?" I shook my head and chuckled, and reached out to take the Red Lotus Order from the jade box, "What's wrong?" Who doesn't want to conquer the country of Buda and give themselves some benefits......"

The emperor's meaning is nothing more than wanting me to go back to Beijing to suppress Pei Lu, so that he will not get any benefit in this benefit distribution, so he will give me the Red Lotus Order, so he will send Ye Juezhi.

But how is this possible? A treacherous person like Pei Lu, if he really wants him to contribute and doesn't even have a mouthful of soup to drink, maybe he will rebel on the spot, let alone the Red Lotus Order, even if he invites Long Yu, he will not blink his eyes and order someone to kill me.

"It's hard to be an adult." Ye Juezhi naturally understood what the emperor was thinking, and this was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man, but a courtier was a courtier after all, how could he bargain?
