After Li Ke and Quan Wanji left, Qin Mubai and Yu Suiliang respectively took over the military and political affairs of Jiangzhou, continued to preside over the overall situation of disaster relief and relief of the people, and at the same time shouldered some of the people's livelihood and military affairs.

In fact, Qin Mubai did not do much more than before, and it was much easier. Because winter is approaching now, the flood is gradually receding. Several previously excavated flood ditches have also begun to function, and the damage has quickly receded. The resettlement of the victims is also coming to an end. Due to the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, a small area of prefectures and counties was affected, and soon received strong assistance from the imperial court.

Before the onset of winter, the flood disaster in Jiangzhou has been fully controlled, and the victims can survive the winter with peace of mind. In addition, the emperor adopted a lenient policy of "appeasement", and the local situation was relatively stable, and there was no trouble with official mutiny or trouble.

Therefore, Qin Mubai is much more relaxed now than before. Every evening after dinner, he would go for a walk in the grove with Chen Yan, practicing martial arts by the way.

Maybe every man has a martial arts dream in his heart, Qin Mubai is very interested in Chen Yan's martial arts, and he is also very happy to listen to her tell some real interesting stories about the rivers and lakes. And Chen Yan has no other acquaintances here, Qin Mubai didn't even have anyone to talk to when he went to do things during the day, so he was naturally willing to get along with him for a while at this time.

After the two accompanying hundred horsemen handed over towels to wipe their sweat, Qin Mubai said: "Chen Yan, I think we will be able to return to Luoyang in a few days, and the situation here in Jiangzhou has stabilized." When I met Yu Suiliang today, I heard him say that the officials of the imperial court and Dali Temple sent by the imperial court carefully examined the bodies of Zhang Tianci, Cheng Songnian and Ma Kun, and determined that these three people committed suicide and were not suspected of murder. Then it was transferred again, and the three of them collaborated to embezzle a large amount of money allocated by the imperial court for repairing the lake, and conspired to kill Zhu Chengwen, the commander of Jishan County. The case has been decided as an ironclad case, and the dust has settled! ”

"Hmph, people who are officials really have a set of things." Chen Yan curled the corners of her mouth disdainfully, and sneered, "Is it that if you don't be hypocritical or fake, you can't be an official?" It's a pity that Zhu Chengwen, who has always been loyal and simple, was poisoned to death by this dye-like officialdom! ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it. I'm just telling you the news, don't you get excited, okay? Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"I only hated the three bastards, and I couldn't kill them with my own hands to avenge Zhu Chengwen!" Chen Yan gritted her teeth and scolded in a low voice.

At this moment, a hundred horsemen rode a horse and galloped from the edge of the woods, and after settling down, he hurriedly rolled off the saddle and hugged his fist and said: "General, King Wu is here!" ”

"What?" Qin Mubai was slightly surprised, "Why did he come back again, could it be that something had changed?" Where is King Wu? ”

"It's already here!" The pawn pointed to the edge of the woods, and at the same time whispered: "There is also Princess Gaoyang......"

"Huh?" Qin Mubai was really a little stunned at this moment, and reflexively thought in his heart: Something bad!

Chen Yan saw Qin Mubai's confused and surprised expression, and said lightly: "What's the big deal, isn't it just that a pair of princes and princesses have come?" ”

"If you don't understand, I can't tell you clearly for a while." Qin Mubai put down his knife and strode forward.

Li Ke held Princess Gaoyang in front of him, and the two rode on the same horse, and the horse was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth. Princess Gaoyang saw Qin Mubai from a distance, and couldn't hold back her passion and shouted: "Qin Mubai! You thief, stinky man! ”

Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that he was also scolded by someone?" When he turned his eyes, he looked at the few pawns next to him, and they were all secretly laughing. She couldn't help but secretly say in her heart, it seems that this Princess Gaoyang and Qin Mubai are very familiar with each other, and even these military schools are not strange.

As soon as Li Ke stopped his horse, Princess Gaoyang was about to turn over and jump down. This horse is very tall and Princess Gaoyang doesn't know how to ride, Li Ke hurriedly shouted to be careful, but fortunately, Qin Mubai quickly stepped forward to catch Princess Gaoyang who jumped down with one hand.

"Stinky man, you stinky man!" After Princess Gaoyang was caught by Qin Mubai, she threw herself into his arms, and the two small pink fists were pounding his chest like drums.

Qin Mubai was shocked and embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled her back: "You still can't stop?" ”

"Ahem!" Li Ke jumped off the horse, walked to the two of them and said, "A lot of people are watching, Gao Yang." ”

"Huh?" Princess Gaoyang glanced around in a daze, hurriedly stopped her hand and got out of Qin Mubai's arms, her face suddenly changed again, and she stretched out her hand and pointed at Chen Yan: "Who is this woman?" ”

Chen Yan held the sword in both hands and said indifferently: "I am me." ”

"Hey, you're quite arrogant!" Princess Gaoyang suddenly became interested in her, walked towards her with a slightly sullen face, and after looking her up and down a few times, she suddenly laughed: "Although her appearance is not bad, she is an old woman." Hey, Qin Mubai! If you hide in Jiangzhou and don't come back, won't it be because you have her with you? ”

"!" Chen Yan sighed with a gloomy face, her face quietly turned red, and her face became a little ugly.

Qin Mubai knew Chen Yan's temperament, and in her mind, there was no distinction between the royal family and the common people, which annoyed her, and everyone was thrown down with a sword. At this time, he was about to step forward and prepare to pull Princess Gaoyang back. Li Ke deliberately pulled him, gave him a look, and whispered: "Just let Chen Yan take a look at Gao Yang's majesty." This girl is now more and more arrogant and dares to do anything! ”

Qin Mubai frowned and asked, "What happened, how did you go and come back, and you brought Princess Gaoyang?" ”

"This ...... But that's a long story! Li Ke sighed and slowly spoke to Qin Mubai.

At this time, Princess Gao Yang was already like a little lioness, angered by Chen Yan. She almost pointed at Chen Yan's nose and scolded, "You are so bold! Do you know who I am, how dare you talk to me like that? ”

"In my eyes, people are people, animals are animals, and there is no 'man'." Chen Yan still held the sword on her chest, looked at Princess Gaoyang coldly, and said lightly.

"You scolded me?" Princess Gao Yang was furious, "Believe it or not, I'll call someone to kill you right now!" - Qin Mubai! ”

"Shut up!" Hearing only a coquettish reprimand, Chen Yan suddenly swiped towards Princess Gaoyang's side like a phantom, and at the same time, the sword in the sheath flashed like the light of the open box, shaking everyone's eyes.

"So fast!" Everyone exclaimed in their hearts at the same time.

Princess Gao Yang only felt that the wind around her swept away the light and cold in her ears, and suddenly shivered and then reflexively touched her ear, and suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, my earrings!" ”

I saw Chen Yan holding her sword horizontally, and the tip of the sword was holding half of Princess Gaoyang's earrings, which shook slightly and clanged there.

In an instant, Princess Gao Yang's face turned white. She looked at Chen Yan blankly, imagining the moment just now - if she didn't pick out the earrings, but the neck, then ......

"I kill people faster than chickens." Chen Yan handed the sword forward slightly, and said coldly to Princess Gaoyang, "So, don't mess with me if you mess with anyone." Also, if you want others to respect you, you have to learn to respect others. Don't think you're a princess and you can yell at others. Especially, for me, or for that matter, my friend. ”

"Qin, Qin Mubai is you, your friend, friend?" Princess Gao Yang's mouth stammered a little, looked at the cold light of the sword tip, and muttered.

"Not bad." Chen Yan handed the sword forward, almost between the eyebrows of Princess Xiang Gaoyang, and she said, "Take back your earrings, I'm not interested in this kind of thing." Don't yell at me again, or let me see you arrogant in front of Qin Mubai. I have never been polite to anyone and have mercy on my subordinates, so today I will make a special case for the sake of King Wu and Qin Mubai's face. ”

Li Ke and Qin Mubai watched it for a while in the back, and they both secretly said in their hearts: It's really a thing descending from a thing, I can't imagine that Princess Gaoyang, a little devil, will also have natural enemies!

"Thank you, thank you...... Princess Gaoyang took the earrings with trembling hands, hurriedly jumped back a few steps and hid behind Qin Mubai, and whispered nervously: "Qin Mubai, what is this woman doing, so fierce!" ”

"She, she's a chivalrous person, but she's amazing. It is estimated that the ten Qin Mubai together are not her opponents. So you must not provoke her again in the future, understand? Qin Mubai smiled and said very seriously.

"Okay, I see......" Princess Gao Yang nodded nervously, poked out half of her head from behind Qin Mubai and stole a glance at Chen Yan, and shouted in surprise, "How can this woman look like a ghost, it's so scary!" ”

"If you talk nonsense, be careful that she really killed you with a knife." Li Ke scolded angrily, grabbed Princess Gaoyang and pulled her out from behind Qin Mubai, and scolded in a low voice: "Everyone is watching you hide behind him, what kind of system do you have?" ”

"Oh, people are used to it!" Princess Gaoyang stomped her feet, pouting and complaining.

Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly, ignoring the pair of living treasure brothers and sisters for the time being, and walked to Chen Yan's side first and said, "Chen Yan, there may be a little trouble to deal with now, let's practice here today, right?" ”

"I'm not used to your politeness, so just let me go." Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "I see that you haven't been able to practice martial arts in the past few days. Anyway, I'll go to pay tribute to Zhu Chengwen and sweep his grave. ”

"It's okay, I'll be looking for you there in a few days." Qin Mubai said.

"Farewell!" Chen Yan didn't say a word, held the sword and arched her hand, and strode away.

Princess Gaoyang stared at Chen Yan intently and walked away, and exclaimed in a low voice: "This woman is even more popular than a man...... Although it's a bit fierce and a little annoying, the martial arts are indeed quite handsome, heroic! If only I had her powerful martial arts, wouldn't I be afraid of being bullied by others! ”

Qin Mubai stepped forward with a wry smile: "You don't want to learn martial arts from her again, right?" ”

"Don't say it, I really want to ......" Princess Gao Yang looked at the back of Chen Yan who was about to disappear in the distance, blinked and muttered.

"Okay, it's over, it's time to get down to business." Li Ke patted Princess Gaoyang on the shoulder, and said to Qin Mubai: "Find a quiet place first, and then talk better." Time is still very urgent. ”

"Good!"
