After many inquiries, everyone learned that Hu Xiaowei's hometown was in Nankang County. This part of the journey also took three months, and everyone had no choice but to set off the next day.

When they arrived in Sinan, several people felt really tired, so they abandoned their original plan and decided to rest for a week in Sinanjun before rushing again. When the people entered the city, it was noon. The six of them entered a tavern, chose a seat, and sat down. A guy who ran the hall came over with a smile: "Oops! How many guest officers? Something to eat? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "I don't know what you have in this store?"

"Hey, although we are a small shop, we still have the food we should have, as long as you are not short of money, we will make you satisfied."

Xuan Zhuyi: "Hahaha! You're a little court official, but it's interesting. Good! It's not bad for money, just those of us, you can see if anything good comes up. ”

"Gotcha! Guest, you'll be waiting later. With that, the shopkeeper retreated to the back hall. There are also several tables of other guests dining, and the guests chatting while eating.

"Huh? Did You Know? We've got a new prefect here. ”

"How can you not know such a big thing?"

"Huh? Where is the last Lord He? ”

"Lord He? It seems to have offended someone, right? Disarmed and returned to the field. ”

"Who have you offended?"

"Hmm...... It seems to be the eunuch next to the emperor today, what is it called? Shen or something? Everyone else is called Lord Shen. ”

"Tut-tut~ Then this one sent this time must be a cronie of Lord Shen, right?"

"We don't know if you're close or not, but it's definitely to please people anyway."

"Hey~ It's a pity Lord He, although I haven't done anything big for the people, but this time I have exchanged for a person who doesn't know the bottom, how much trouble do you have to have?!"

"It's good to disarm and return to the field, there was a disaster and famine in Lanqi County before, and it was a dead man!"

"I don't know if our emperor is for the people or for himself?"

"Hey! It's all covering people's eyes and ears, let's not talk about it, those who can become big officials are all aristocratic door valves, so we dare to talk about it behind people's backs. ”

"Humph! The walls have ears! But don't be like Lord He, who doesn't know ...... in vain."

Most of the dishes have been served, and everyone is already hungry, and they all say that they want to show their skills, but Mu Jinggong has not moved his chopsticks.

Mu Zhixi: "Jing Gong? What's wrong? Don't you eat it? ”

Mu Jinggong: "Because one vicious dog brought another vicious dog, it became the climate, took advantage of it, and took the lead."

Mu Zhixi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Everyone stopped and looked at Mu Jinggong.

Mu Jinggong looked down at the rice in front of him, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "There is another group of sycophants behind him who follow the trend. It's not serious to be a coward, and I like to see the wind and rudder, fan the wind and light the ghost fire, but it can't be done, but it's disgusting like a cockroach. ”

Ouyang Ruolin quietly asked Xuan Zhuyi beside her, "What's wrong with Gong Gong?" How do you say that? ”

Xuan Zhuyi was also confused: "I don't know either!"

I only heard Yu Cihe say unhurriedly while eating: "There is also a difference between a cowardly bag and a coward, but the cowardly bag who sees the wind and makes the rudder can always survive to the end." In the final analysis, it is because someone holds and holds it that the dog can take advantage of it. Besides, the onlookers, this dog directed a good show, the people holding it were proud, and the onlookers were also amazed, watching the dog write and direct a good show and boast about it, and then it became a cowardice to see the wind and rudder. ”

Mu Jinggong looked up at Yu Cihe, Yu Cihe was still the same as when he was eating, his emotions did not fluctuate, and his expression was not unusual. Mu Zhixi sighed on the side and said, "It's said that the dog is fighting people, what else?" Step by step, the dog is solved. Mu Jinggong nodded, lowered his head and began to eat, the three of them stopped talking, and the other three stared at each other with big eyes, and when they heard in the clouds, they saw that no one was talking, so they stopped asking anything and began to eat with their heads down. Although it is silent, everyone's heart is different at the moment.

It was night, and after a tiring day, everyone felt a little tired, so they all went back to their rooms to rest. Shang Ling tiptoed to Yu Cihe's door and patted gently, listening to Yu Cihe say inside the door: "Come in." Shang Ling tried to push the door, and with a "squeak" he pushed it open, and he shook his head and walked in and closed the door again. Seeing Yu Cihe sitting by the window and looking at the moon motionlessly, Shang Ling sat down at a small wooden table, took out a jar of wine from his arms and put it on the table, then turned his face to look at Yu Cihe and asked, "Yu Cihe, are you drinking?" Yu Cihe looked back at the wine he had placed on the table, turned over and got down from the window, walked leisurely to the wooden table, sat opposite Shang Ling, turned over two glasses, picked up the wine jar and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all. Shang Ling sighed slightly, picked up the wine jar and filled himself with wine, and after pouring a full glass for Yu Cihe, he finally began to speak.

Shang Ling: "Yu Cihe? Ask you something. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "You say."

Shang Ling: "Have you ever drunk in the palace?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "I've drunk it."

Shang Ling: "Do you drink like this?" I mean casual drinking, not going to a banquet or something. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "I'm a maid who follows the princess, can I drink at the banquet?"

Shang Ling: "That's not what I meant, I actually mean that you can relax in the palace like you do now?"

Yu Tzu He: "I also drank very freely in the palace. But it was only once, and that time he picked up a dagger and almost injured someone. So after that time, Princess Su'an never let me drink again. ”

Shang Ling: "Almost hurt someone?" I didn't expect you to be such a person? I know you're as good as I am! How come there are times when you are drunk? ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Who hasn't had a bad past?" If people are always clinging to the past, then there is no point in living. ”

Shang Ling: "Yu Cihe, do you regret entering the palace?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "There are some things that you can't choose. is like fate, although some people have thought about changing their lives against the sky, but in the end they still fell on the road against the sky. ”

Shang Ling: "No, I think my fate is in my own hands. If I don't go to Lingxian Pavilion to apprentice, then I will never meet you in my life. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Is it good to meet me?" Hmph, it should be your misfortune to meet me, right? ”

Shang Ling: "Why do you think so?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "If I were a person who was born with a curse, would you still think it was good to meet me?" If your only enemy in this life is me, would you still think it would be good to meet me? ”

Shang Ling was choked by Yu Cihe's two words for a while, and couldn't say anything, and only after a while did he slowly say: "If you are a person who was born with a curse, then think of me as well, otherwise how would I have met you?" If you are my only enemy in this life, then I am a part of your life, a part of your life that you can't get rid of. How can I not be bad when I meet you? ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk didn't look at him, he quietly poured another glass of wine and drank it all, and then said, "You will regret it."

"I won't." Shang Ling replied without hesitation, "If the destiny is like this, then you are my destiny." ”

Hearing this, Yu Tzu-hyuk's hand pouring wine stopped in mid-air and did not move. Shang Ling also felt a little embarrassed, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Are you and Wolf friends now?"

"I don't have any friends." Yu Jihyuk resumed his movements.

Shang Ling was inexplicably a little heartbroken and said, "No friends? So what are we? ”

Yu Tzu He: "Senior brother."

Shang Ling: "Is it so difficult to establish feelings in your heart?" Listening to the tone, Shang Ling should be suppressing something. Yu Cihe felt that suppressed feeling, so he immediately changed his words: "It's not very difficult, the relationship between senior brothers should be heavier than friends."

As Yu Tzu Hyuk expected, as soon as these words came out, that depressing feeling disappeared in an instant. Shang Ling thought that if he said anything more, he was afraid that there would inevitably be another quarrel, so it was better to stop and rest early. But just as he was about to get up to say goodbye, Yu Tzu Hyuk suddenly asked him a question.

Yu Tzu He: "Shang Ling, since you asked me a question, can I ask you a question?"

Shang Ling: "Of course, what do you want to ask?"

Yu Tzu He: "Do you know Shen Fan?"

Shang Ling was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't Shen Fan the eunuch beside the emperor?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Yes, I'm asking if you are familiar with him?"

Shang Ling: "I...... I'm an ordinary person, how can I be familiar with the people in the palace? Not to mention being a eunuch. ”

Yu Cihe sighed and said, "That's fine."

Shang Ling was a little confused: "What's wrong?" Why did you suddenly remember to ask him? ”

Yu Tzu He: "Do you know what Mu Jinggong said at noon today?"

Shang Ling: "You mean she said the word about a vicious dog?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "You don't really think she's talking about a vicious dog, do you?"

Shang Ling: "No...... Isn't it? ”

Yu Cihe raised his forehead and said: "Referring to Sang scolding Huai, she is talking about Shen Fan."

Shang Ling was shocked in his heart and said, "What does she have to do with Shen Fan?" Why did you suddenly remember to talk about Shen Fan? ”

Yu Cihe: "I don't know, it's just a matter of her family, I think she suspects Shen Fan."

Shang Ling frowned and said, "You mean the incident of the Mu Mansion being slaughtered?" Why did you suddenly involve Shen Fan and Tu Fu? ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "I think it's because the people at the next table at noon are talking about the change of prefect in Sin'an County."

Shang Ling: "What did the person at that table say?" Why am I not impressed? ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Do you really not know or are you pretending to be confused?"

Shang Ling: "I really don't know. Even Senior Brother Xuan and Ruolin didn't know. ”

Yu Cihe: "The person at that table said that the original prefect of Xin'an County returned to the field because he offended Shen Fan. So the newly appointed prefect may be Shen Fan's person. He also said that the wall has ears, be cautious in words and deeds, otherwise you don't know how to die. ”

Shang Ling: "Is this Shen Fan so powerful?" Isn't he just a eunuch? Where did you get so much power to decide on the replacement of local officials? ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk: "Because he is a celebrity around the emperor?" You can say a few words about everything. ”

Shang Ling: "Doesn't the emperor think he's in the way?"

Yu Cihe: "The emperor now has a lot of opinions that are obeyed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Yuhuan, and Xiao Yuhuan is supported by Shen Fan, so in fact, many of Xiao Yuhuan's opinions come from Shen Fan."

Shang Ling: "Isn't this indirectly in power?!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can let himself be manipulated by others? ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Hmph! Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself is a waste, he was instructed to do everything, but in the end he was paving the way for others. ”

Shang Ling didn't know what to say for a while, so he gently patted Yu Cihe on the shoulder, and stood up and left under the excuse that it was getting late. Yu Tzu Hyuk did not stop him, and drank a jar of wine before lying on the bed to sleep.
