"Why are you here?" Sun Hengbo screamed in surprise, met the sharp gaze in mid-air, his heart suddenly tightened, and he unconsciously moved away from Xie Fenghua.

Xie Fenghua was so sensitive, when he saw her small action, a flash of light flashed quickly in his eyes. The next moment, the suspicious gaze seemed to have found a target, and it came and went between the two without a trace.

But he didn't want to, Du Huaishao saw that she was familiar with Xie Fenghua, his face was slightly cold, he pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, and left without saying a word.

Xie Fenghua walked to Sun Hengbo's side, and seeing that she still couldn't take back her gaze at Du Huaishao, her eyes sank, and she couldn't help asking, "Hengbo, do you know him?" ”

Although it is a question sentence, it is in an affirmative tone.

Sun Hengbo came back to his senses at this time, his face revealed a trace of embarrassment, looked down at the ground, and asked, "Young lady, do you remember the child who stole my purse before?" ”

Xie Fenghua nodded.

"Didn't we catch that kid?" Sun Hengbo said a little embarrassed, "Later, after you left, I asked the kid why he was stealing, and he talked about the situation at home and took me over to see it." ”

Xie Fenghua was surprised, "People you don't know, you actually believe it like that?" ”

Should she be naïve, or is she innocent?

Xu was aware of the impulse of this move, Sun Hengbo stuck out his tongue and said playfully: "At that time, I was attracted by what he said, where did I think of other aspects?" On that day, if I hadn't been nosy, I was afraid that Du Gongzi would have died in Huangquan. ”

She sighed again and said softly: "It's just a gesture, I can help if I can!" ”

Xie Fenghua carefully looked at her expression, and after a while, he came to a conclusion - the relationship between the two people is not just as simple as helping out.

However, she was not a nosy person, and only reminded: "You should be clear about the relationship between the Du family and the Prime Minister's Mansion." But don't get caught on fire! ”

"Of course not."

Xie Fenghua didn't say anything anymore and turned to leave.

Sun Hengbo looked at her back with a depressed face and asked Yunxiang, "Why does everyone tell me so much?" I'm not a little girl who doesn't know anything about the world! ”

Yun Xiang shook her head and disagreed.

You must know that in order to save a stranger, her own lady was able to go to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion in person to ask for the fire lingzhi, which is not as simple as ignorance of the world.

Nine times out of ten, the devil is stunned, right?

……

These days, the major restaurants and teahouses in Tianshang Beijing are full of people, and most of them are students from all over the country who are rushing to take the exam. The Liang Dynasty has always separated the autumn and martial arts examinations, and this time they are gathered together, which is not unpopular.

Compared with the gradual progress of the autumn season, the martial arts exam is faster.

The martial arts examination is divided into two rounds, the first round is a lottery to let all students pass the recruitment separately, so that some unsuitable people will be screened out first. In the second round, Xie Fenghua and Li Xiangrui, the secretary of the military department, were jointly screened until the top three were selected, and then these three people were brought into the palace to wait for the emperor's summons.

Xie Fenghua sat lazily, looking at the two people on the stage, exchanging a few words with Li Xiangrui from time to time, and soon stayed up to the end.

In this martial arts examination, three students with good skills were selected. Among them, Wu Zhuangyuan is Jiang Yu, the youngest son of the Marquis of Wuwei. The name of the list is Qi Lei, a person in the rivers and lakes, who makes good use of hidden weapons. Tanhua is called Xiang Qian.

Li Xiangrui brought the three of them into the palace.

And Xie Fenghua had nothing else to do, so he walked back to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as he turned a corner, a cry came from his ears, low and intermittent, as if he was trying to suppress something.

She couldn't help but be curious, and walked over to the cry, only to see a young man in shabby clothes hiding in the corner of the alley and crying with his head down, and he didn't even notice that she was close.

She couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" ”

The young man raised his head and saw that it was her, so he quickly wiped away his tears, stood up and said with a crying voice: "The grass people have seen adults. ”

"You know me?" A trace of surprise crossed Xie Fenghua's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at it more.

At this glance, I suddenly remembered that this person was the student who was defeated and stepped down by Qi Lei's secret weapon just now, and his skills were not bad.

But well......

What are you crying about?

The young man pointed not far away, and said a little embarrassedly: "The grass people's name is Xing Feng, and he took the martial arts exam not long ago, and he was fortunate to see the dignity of the adults. ”

Xie Fenghua snorted, and finally asked the answer in his heart, "Why are you hiding here crying?" ”

Xing Feng showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, the grass people failed in the martial arts, and I was sad for a while, so I couldn't hold back my ......."

It turned out that sorrow came from it.

Xie Fenghua nodded, and then understood, and only said: "You value this martial arts move very much?" ”

Xing Feng's face slowly turned ugly, and he sighed: "I heard that the grass people heard that if they are selected and enter the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, at least they will have a lot to take." And the grass people's families are poor, and they thought that they could live on this bit of money to buy rice, but who would have thought that ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he choked up again, rolled up his sleeves and wiped away his tears.

Xie Fenghua saw that his eyes were firm, his eyebrows were clear, and although he was born poor, he couldn't see the slightest bit of decadence. She blinked, and for a moment she had an idea, and asked, "Would you like to follow me and be my bodyguard?" ”

Upon hearing this, Xing Feng was overjoyed and asked in disbelief, "Really?" My lord, is it okay for grass people? ”

Xie Fenghua then nodded.

Seeing this, Xing Feng hurriedly thanked, "Willing, willing!" The grass people are very willing! Thank you for your great kindness. ”

So saying, he was about to kneel.

Xie Fenghua hurriedly stopped him, "The reason why I helped you is not because I pity you, but because I like your pretty good skills." I hope you don't think about it. If it's all right, go home. Go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion early tomorrow morning to register your name. ”

Xing Feng hurriedly responded and went back with a smile.

And Xie Fenghua continued to walk towards the Hou Mansion. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw that the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion was coming to a steady stop. Sun Hengbo jumped out of the car holding Yun Xiang's hand, and when he saw her, he hurriedly said happily: "Young lady, what a coincidence, I was just about to come to you!" ”

Xie Fenghua was puzzled: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"I'll take a look." Sun Hengbo stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and said with a smile, "Young lady, how is today's martial arts exam?" ”

Xie Fenghua walked inside, "All the ones who should be chosen have been chosen." The little boy of the Wuwei Hou Mansion came out on top, and the other two, you probably don't know either. ”

"Oh, that's it......" Sun Hengbo said thoughtfully, his tone seemed to be a little lost.

Her appearance made Xie Fenghua aware of the abnormality.

After thinking about it, Xie Fenghua stopped, looked her up and down, and asked, "You are here to ask this?" ”

"Yes." Sun Hengbo has some thoughts that don't belong.

A hint of cunning quickly flashed in Xie Fenghua's eyes, and then he asked her, "Isn't it to ask about Du Huaishao?" ”

"That's what I asked him!" Sun Hengbo replied subconsciously, and when he realized what he said, his face suddenly showed a trace of shame, glared at her, and said with some displeasure, "You actually came to trick me." ”

Xie Fenghua said that he was very innocent.

This girl's thoughts are all written on her face, where does she need to talk?

And Sun Hengbo couldn't wait for her answer for a long time, and he couldn't help it, "Young lady, what is the situation of Du Gongzi, can you tell me now?" ”

"I can't." Xie Fenghua shook his head, his face was helpless, "If you want to know, you might as well ask him." ”

So, she left Sun Hengbo and walked in by herself.

Sun Hengbo's round face suddenly wrinkled, and he simply didn't follow up, and drove the carriage to the other courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, Du Silkworm saw her, and ran up to salute, but suddenly stepped back, with a look of fear, pursing her lips and saying nothing.

"Du silkworm, is your young master here?" Sun Hengbo got out of the car with his skirt, didn't notice his abnormality, and walked quickly to the yard.

Seeing this, Du Silkworm hurriedly rushed up, stretched out his hands to block in front of her, and said fiercely: "You can't go in." ”

Sun Hengbo's round face tensed, and his expression suddenly sank.

And Yun Xiang opened her mouth to reprimand him, "Du silkworm, what do you mean by this?" My young lady came to visit Du Gongzi, why did you stop it? ”

"Can't go in." Du Silkworm was also a strong temper, and repeated it again, and stopped in front of the door.

Sun Hengbo was a little confused, but he couldn't be angry with a child, and then gave Yun Xiang a look, but saw Yun Xiang nodding and shouting inside, "Du Gongzi, my young lady has come to see you." Why don't you avoid it? ”

shouted several times in a row, and the figure in the room flashed, but he saw Du Huaishao walking out slowly, covering the wound on his chest, and looking straight at Sun Hengbo, "Dare to ask Miss Hengbo, which house are you from?" ”

Sun Hengbo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he unconsciously took a few steps back.

He knows everything!

"Miss be careful." Yun Xiang hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, and said to Du Huaishao, "Du Gongzi, my young lady is kind enough to save you, you are so unkind!" Do you have a conscience? ”

The corners of Du Huaishao's lips hooked a touch of irony, and his eyes were cool, falling on Sun Hengbo's face, and he felt that the sunlight above his head could not dispel this coolness. He glanced at Sun Hengbo, his gaze was unceremonious, and he looked at Yun Xiang angrily.

I only heard her say coldly: "Du Gongzi, you are so suspicious, but you are worthy of my young lady's life-saving grace?" ”

Du Huaishao looked at her with disdain, shook his head and said, "It seems to be a life-saving grace, but who knows, does Miss Sun have the intention of catching them all?" ”

Sun Hengbo bit his lower lip tightly, with a deep disappointment in his eyes.

After a while, she asked, "That's what you think?" ”

"Or else? Why did Miss Sun save me? Du Huaishao opened his mouth and mocked.

At this time, he was like a hedgehog that had been touched, and the thorns on his body made people extremely uncomfortable.

However, when he saw Sun Hengbo looking pitiful and bullied by him, he did not feel the happiness he expected, but his chest seemed to be blocked with a pile of cotton wool, which was messy, and even breathing began to be difficult.

If he hadn't accidentally heard the words of someone from the other courtyard, he would probably still be in the dark now.

It turned out that the person in front of him was actually such an identity. No wonder, when I asked her name, I didn't even want to say my last name.

Was it for her purpose, or was he afraid that he would know such an identity?

"Thank you Miss Sun for stretching out your noble hand and saving my life." Thinking of being kept in the dark, he seemed to be even more annoyed, and the mockery in his tone became a little stronger, "Now, I have nothing, why doesn't Miss Sun let me die clean?" I'm still the same sentence, why did you go to such great lengths to save me? ”

Sun Hengbo opened his mouth, and stopped talking several times, but he still said: "If I say that I don't have any purpose in saving you, do you believe me?" ”

Du Huaishao sneered on the spot as if he had heard some joke: "I can't see that Prime Minister Sun Cheng's daughter is actually such a bodhisattva!" It's really impressive. ”

These words sounded really heart-piercing, Yun Xiang couldn't listen to them anymore, and immediately said indignantly: "Du Gongzi, you misunderstood my young lady." Saving you is only out of kindness and for no other purpose. Otherwise, the young lady would not waste the fire ...... of the Hou Mansion."

"Yunxiang!" Sun Hengbo snorted coldly and interrupted her. But seeing that her expression suddenly became cold and heavy, she didn't look at Du Huaishao's sarcastic expression, turned around and said, "No need to say more." Let's go. ”

Yun Xiang was still unwilling, and was pulled away by her while scolding.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Du Silkworm pursed her lips and said with some uneasiness: "Young master, the villain thinks that Miss Hengbo is not a bad person......

"That's none of our business." Du Huaishao's expression was down, but there was an inexplicable light in his eyes.

From the very beginning, his surname was Du and the man's surname was Sun, and there was destined to be an unbridgeable gap between them.

Such an antagonistic relationship will never change.

……

After Sun Hengbo left the hospital, his mood became more and more depressed. Originally, she was going to go to Du Huaishao, why didn't she go to take the martial arts exam, but she didn't expect that what greeted her in the end was cynicism.

Regret it?

There should be a little, she thought.

But when she thinks about it, her relationship with him is only slightly better than that of strangers. And the reason why she rescued him at the beginning was just that she felt pitiful for him, and she never thought that she could make him grateful to Dade, right?

Thinking about it like this, the depression in his chest seems to have dissipated a lot.

"Miss, the master asked you to go to the main hall." When the housekeeper saw her return, he hurriedly reported it.

As soon as Sun Hengbo's footsteps turned, he walked to the main hall, and asked as he walked, "Did my father say, what is the matter with me?" ”

The housekeeper hesitated, "Miss, Marquis Wuwei and Jiang Xiaogongzi are waiting in the flower hall!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Hengbo suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and after entering the main hall, he saw Wu Weihou talking to his father, and when he saw her, his face suddenly showed a satisfied look.

Her heart tightened, and the feeling of uneasiness grew, and after the salute, she sat down quietly.

Sun Mingyuan said: "Hengbo, today your Uncle Jiang came to the palace to discuss ...... family."

"Relatives?" Sun Hengbo's eyes widened, he didn't understand why he had just left for a while, and the sky had changed, and at this time, he didn't care about the so-called etiquette rules, so he directly interrupted his words, looked at Wuwei Hou and said, "Uncle Jiang, how can you ......?"

Wu Weihou stroked his beard and said with a loving face: "You want to say, why is it so sudden, right?" ”

Sun Hengbo nodded vigorously.

But he didn't want to, Wu Weihou looked at Jiang Yu who was acting as an invisible person on the side, and continued: "Didn't you hear that you took the fire lingzhi from this kid's hand?" ”

"What does this have to do with Fire Lingzhi?" Sun Hengbo was puzzled.

Wu Wei Hou was surprised, "This kid actually didn't tell you that this fire lingzhi was left for the future daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion?" ”

Sun Hengbo was dumbfounded.

It's just to take a fire lingzhi, how can you even lose a lifelong event?

She glanced at Jiang Yu, who was silent, and suddenly smiled: "Uncle Jiang, can you let me say a few words to Jiang Yu?" ”

Wu Weihou's eyes flashed, nodded, and watched the two of them walk out.

Walking into a corner where no one could see, Sun Hengbo kicked over. Jiang Yu dodged to the side, but was kicked by her again, which happened to be in the knee, and he gasped in pain for a moment.

"Okay, Jiang Yu, you're playing tricks with me now!" Sun Hengbo was still angry, but he didn't cross his waist and scolded angrily, "When I came to get the fire lingzhi, you didn't tell me that this fire lingzhi still has such an important significance." ”

If she knew, she wouldn't get into trouble.

It's good now, not only did he suffer a cold face from Du Huaishao, but he also paid himself for it.

Jiang Yu touched his knees and said with a bitter face: "You were full of saving people at the time, and you didn't give me a chance to say it!" What's more, what's so bad about marrying me? You and I are childhood sweethearts, it's better than you marrying someone who doesn't know the roots, right? ”

Sun Hengbo stomped his feet angrily, "Who do I marry, what does it have to do with you?" Jiang Yu, you have a person living in your heart, and you don't want to be persecuted by Uncle Jiang, and you can't use me as a shield! ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yu's face suddenly changed, and he squinted at her, "You really can't open which pot to mention." ”

Sun Hengbo felt lost his mouth and hurriedly apologized.

After a short gaffe, Jiang Yu said indifferently: "Didn't you promise me a condition?" Let's exchange this for this. ”

"How can this work?" Sun Hengbo hurriedly said, "I'm not happy......"

Jiang Yu's face wrinkled, and he almost begged her: "My aunt, you can take it as saving my life!" Being nagged by my father and mother all day long, I'm going to be annoyed to death. Aren't you the one you want to marry now? It's a big deal that when you want to get married in the future, you and I will cancel the marriage contract. ”

"How important is a woman's reputation, how can you do that?" Sun Hengbo slapped it over.

Jiang Yu tilted his head away and raised his eyebrows, "Do you care about these false names?" In other words, if the person you like cares about these false names in the future, it is enough to show that he is not a person to be trusted. In this way, it can also help you see through the nature of that person, wouldn't it be a good thing? ”

Sun Hengbo was speechless for a while.

Although she knew that something was wrong, she felt that it was very feasible to listen to his nonsense at the moment.

Hell, hell!

After the two hid in the corner and reached an agreement, they also returned to the main hall.

When the two elders heard the news, they also met head to head to discuss matters related to the marriage, leaving the two juniors staring at the ground with big eyes and small eyes.

This scene was seen by Yun Xiang. She pursed her lips and snuck out.

She's going to Du Huaishao.

When Du Silkworm saw her going and returning, she couldn't help but be curious: "Sister Yunxiang, why are you back again?" ”

"Where's your young master?" Yun Xiang glanced at the courtyard, and when she saw the figure in the house, she kicked in the door without saying a word, and said angrily to the people in the house, "Du Gongzi, the slave has never seen such an ungrateful person as you." ”

Du Huaishao was walking around with his chest covered, and when he saw this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Miss Yunxiang, please be careful." ”

"Caution? Oh, my young lady has even lost her life's major events for you, but you are talking cool here. Yun Xiang grinned, revealing a mouthful of cold white teeth, sarcastically mocking him, "Du Gongzi enjoys the grace of saving his life, but he treats the good heart as a donkey's liver and lungs." The slave is really upset for my young lady. ”

Du Huaishao said coldly: "What are you talking about lifelong events?" ”

"What do you think?" Yun Xiang glared at him angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "When you were dying, the doctor said that you must use fire lingzhi as medicine to save your life." In order to save you, Miss can only borrow the fire lingzhi from the Wuwei Hou Mansion. But who would have thought that this fire lingzhi was actually reserved for the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Wuwei. No, the Marquis of Wuwei brought Jiang Xiaogongzi to the door, but he set the lifelong event of my young lady. It's all your fault! ”

Du Huaishao frowned, walked out.

……

After the extermination order was issued to the Du family, there were not many people left. It's just that on this day, a book of the imperial case was submitted, but it was mentioned that some Du family members in Yunzhou openly disobeyed the will, broke free from the shackles of officers and soldiers, and killed people everywhere, which caused panic among the people of Yunzhou for a while.

Zhao Pei threw the fold on the table and said angrily: "The remnants of the Du family are so chaotic, they simply don't take me seriously. Tell me, how can you catch all these people? ”

Sun Mingyuan came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the Du family is so stubborn, there is no need to be polite to them. Yunzhou officers and soldiers should be sent to encircle and suppress them in order to get rid of future troubles. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

In a chorus, Xie Fenghua and Yuan Minzhou remained silent very consistently.

Seeing this, Zhao Pei asked, "What is Dingyuanhou's opinion?" ”

Yuan Minzhou took out a fold from his sleeve and presented it, "Your Majesty, this is the fold that the minister just received this morning, and it says that King Beiheng will hold a thousand chrysanthemum banquet in Yunzhou in the near future." Now that the remnants of the Du family are rampant, if something happens, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. ”

After hearing the words, Xie Fenghua was in a fog, and when he was thinking about what the Qianju Banquet had to do with the remnants of the Du family, he heard Zhao Pei say: "Since this is what King Beiheng meant, then I will also go to join in the fun." Xie Yinghua, you selected a team of people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to serve as the guards for this escort. ”

Xie Fenghua hurriedly received the order.

After that, Zhao Pei left Sun Mingyuan and Yuan Minzhou and other courtiers behind. Xie Fenghua was walking alone on the way out of the palace, but was stopped by Yuehe halfway, "Young Mrs. Yuan, the queen is invited." ”

Du Pingfei looking for her?

Xie Fenghua's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, and he followed suit.

After a long time, Du Pingfei is still as radiant as ever, and he seems to be completely unaffected by the Du family's rebellion.

Xie Fenghua arched his hand perfunctorily, and made a salute, "What is the important thing for Niangniang to find Weichen?" ”

"Now you're so imposing!" When Du Pingfei heard the word "Weichen", a mocking smile appeared on his face, but his tone was very disdainful, "If Xie Fenghua knows, it is estimated that she will be able to rest in peace even if she dies." ”

Xie Fenghua smiled silently.

Seeing this, Du Pingfei suddenly walked around her, and sighed: "This palace still thought that when the heavenly prison married you and wronged you, you could learn to lie dormant in a low-key manner. Now it seems that you are so ignorant. ”

Xie Fenghua couldn't help laughing, looked around, and said lightly: "I heard that when the queen mother and the emperor got married, it seemed to be held in a post station where there was no village in front of the village and no store in the back. It should have been a snowy day at that time, deserted, the cold wind was swishing, and no matter how you looked at it, it was colder than the prison. ”

"You, don't be too complacent!" Du Pingfei was poked in the sore spot, his face changed drastically, and his delicate makeup could not hide the trace of hideous color.

Xie Fenghua glanced at her coldly, "I'm not proud. It's just that the queen's eyes seem to be on her head, so naturally she can't see Weichen's expression. ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Du Pingfei to react, and walked out directly.

Du Pingfei stared at her back, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao hurriedly recalled her sanity from the side, and said hurriedly: "Niangniang, I just got the news that the emperor is about to go to Yunzhou to participate in the Qianju banquet set up by King Beiheng. When the time comes, I'm afraid you'll have to go with you. ”

Du Pingfei frowned suddenly, "It's so dignified, why did you suddenly go to Yunzhou?" ”

Xiao Yao told all the news he heard, and said at the end: "This matter seems to be inseparable from the Du family." You'd better be prepared! The emperor seems to be going to catch it all this time. ”

"Hmph, he wants to be beautiful, and he has the ability to get rid of this palace together!" Du Pingfei said indignantly.

Although her relationship with the Du family is relatively weak, it can be seen that the emperor is acting like this, and she is extremely disdainful in her heart.

She has a hunch that this time in Yunzhou, it is estimated that it is not so simple.

I'm afraid that someone is going to be unlucky.

However, after thinking about it, she doesn't have to do anything else, just watch the play.

Now that I'm alone, there's nothing to lose!
