Li Daozong put away the treasure knife and handed it to the servant to take away. He deliberately walked up to Chen Yan and said to her: "Yan'er, I gave you the 'Love Sword', not to make you ruthless. In fact, emotion is like this sword, a sword with two edges, which can kill the enemy or hurt oneself. At the same time, emotion is also a great force in this world, and it is possible to overwhelm the impossible. How to grasp it needs to be weighed by yourself. I only hope that you don't live forever in the memories of the past, facing today, calmly, bravely and optimistically, the most important thing is to continue. ”

"Thank you for the teachings of Wang Ye, Chen Yan always remembers." Chen Yan responded softly, and glanced at Qin Mubai inadvertently, and her heart couldn't help but be entangled.

In fact, Chen Yan heard the meaning of Li Daozong's words, which undoubtedly made her forget the dead Zhu Chengwen, start a new life, and try to contact other men. The sound outside the strings was nothing more than to let Chen Yan think about the man "Qin Mubai", so she had to break the words.

Qin Mubai didn't understand why Li Daozong said this in front of him. He clearly intends to match himself and Chen Yan's good deeds, which can be easily seen from his gift of swords and swords. In the eyes of Cheng Cheng, Qin Mubai really likes Chen Yan, an amorous woman who has mature charm and is smart and rational, but also attaches great importance to love and righteousness. It's just that at this moment, I am afraid that only Zhu Chengwen occupies all of them in her heart, where will she have her foothold for a while?

Qin Mubai has always believed that it is easy to snatch women from other men; But it is much more difficult to drive out of a woman's heart and replace another man. Especially a woman like Chen Yan who values love and righteousness. This kind of woman, first of all, is to be respected, not the kind of woman who is watery Yang Hua Dynasty Qin Duchu, and can easily be included in the Luo tent.

At this moment, although Qin Mubai has a good impression of Chen Yan in his heart, he is more just respectful.

……

The three of them walked and chatted, and went to the backyard guest house. At this moment, Chu Suiliang greeted him, first greeted Li Daozong, and then said to Qin Mubai: "General Qin, I don't know when you are going to leave the prince and set off?" ”

"Is the gentleman in a hurry to leave?" Qin Mubai asked. I thought to myself, it's clear that you want to say goodbye to the prince, but you have to ask me to say it, it's really funny. I'm in no hurry, and it's okay to stay in this palace for two more days.

Chu Suiliang had no choice but to say: "I just received a quick horse letter from Jiangzhou Mansion in the next place, saying that there are some urgent matters to be dealt with next time. ”

"In this case, it is not good for this king to stay." Li Daozong said happily, "Chu Suiliang and Qin Mubai, since the two of you are entrusted by the emperor's order, you should take state affairs first. I'm glad you can come. I would have stayed with you a few more days, but I didn't dare to get in the way of your business. ”

Qin Mubai arched his hand and said, "In this way, I have to leave!" ”

"Wait for the king to send someone to prepare carriages and horses for you!"

After a while, Qin Mubai and Chu Suiliang both boarded the car, bid farewell to Li Daozong, and returned to Jiangzhou. Li Daozong and Chen Yan personally sent each other off until they left the palace.

"Yan'er, don't you want to go back with Qin Mubai?" Li Daozong asked.

Chen Yan smiled slightly: "He has Chu Suiliang with him, where do you put me?" ”

"You still don't want to be too withdrawn." Li Daozong smiled and said earnestly, "I know that you are jealous and hateful, but there is no perfect person in the world, and everyone has their own shortcomings. To be tolerant and tolerant of others is to be kind to yourself. Especially with the officials, I found that you were particularly prejudiced against them, even at the beginning. You should change that. In this Tang Dynasty, in fact, there are still many good officials, otherwise where would the balance come from in the prosperous Celestial Dynasty? ”

"The prince has taught me a lesson. After the Jiangzhou incident, my perception has changed a lot. Chen Yanxiu frowned lightly, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said leisurely, "Maybe in this world, there are no absolute good people or bad people." Good people make mistakes, and bad people sometimes find out with their consciences. People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves; People in officialdom are also involuntarily. ”

Li Daozong smiled slightly: "It was Qin Mubai who made you change. ”

"......" Chen Yan was slightly stunned, her face inadvertently flushed with a touch of red, chuckled to hide her embarrassment, and said, "He is a very peculiar person, different from what I have met before. Until now, I don't know if he's more of a good guy or more of a bad guy. ”

"There are no absolute good or bad people in the world, haha!" Li Daozong laughed and walked away, "How good this sentence is!" - Remember it, Yeon'er! ”

Chen Yan looked at Li Daozong's back, showed a smile of relief and gratitude, and said softly: "I know, father-in-law...... Why, I can only call this title with my back to you? ”

The carriage traveled all the way to the south, and arrived at the state city in the evening, Chu Suiliang invited Qin Mubai to go into the city for a night, and then go on the road tomorrow, so as to make the best of the friendship of the landlord. Qin Mubai thought that he was not bothered by the military strength anyway, and it was a good thing to reward him with a face, so he readily agreed.

Chu Suiliang, the minister of the Qin Mission, temporarily took over the post of Jiangzhou Assassin History, and his office and residence were in the Assassin's Mansion. The two got off the carriage, and Chu Suiliang hurriedly went to deal with some urgent official business, leaving Qin Mubai to rest in the guest room for a while, and then have dinner together later.

It was indeed a little tiring to run all the way, Qin Mubai took a shower and prepared to take a nap. Before he had fully fallen asleep, someone called outside the door.

"I'm disturbed, dare to ask General Qin if he is asleep?"

"Who?"

"Below is the official under the command of Chu Fujun, who came to deliver a message to the general on the order of the Fujun."

Qin Mubai had no choice but to get up and open the door, and saw a green-robed official in his forties, standing at the door with a long bow.

"Tell me, what?"

"The prince specially invited the general to go, saying that there is an important official business related to the general, and the general's opinion needs to be listened to before the decision is made." The official said.

"Jiangzhou official business, has something to do with me?" Qin Mubai was puzzled for a long time and said, "Wait, I'll come." ”

After packing up his clothes, Qin Mubai came to the Yamen of the Assassin with the officials of the palace, and Chu Suiliang waited in the study.

"General Qin is here. It is really not right to disturb the general's rest. But now I have a dilemma in my hands, and I don't know how to deal with it, and I ask the general to break it for me. After that, Chu Suiliang smiled meaningfully and handed Qin Mubai an excerpt.

Qin Mubai opened the fold curiously and couldn't help but be happy.

There was a big businessman who, after hearing about the flood disaster in Jiangzhou, came to donate to the yamen to help the disaster relief and comfort the people. There were 10,000 copper coins, 50 carts of chestnut rice, 30,000 winter clothes, more than 7,000 sets of bedding, and more than 300 sacrificial sheep for the disaster relief officers.

These things are worth 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and the imperial court allocated only 50,000 yuan to build the Jishan flood control embankment. It's rare for someone to shoot so generously, which is jaw-dropping!

But the person who made the shot made Qin Mubai cry and laugh even more - the payment, Chang'an Wuzhao!

"The general?" Chu Suiliang said with a smile.

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled bitterly, and threw the fold on the table: "What does she want to do?" ”

"Contribute to the country and share worries for the monarch, a great thing!" Chu Suiliang said with a smile, "Perhaps, it's also for you!" ”

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, and said, "She is deliberately creating a momentum for herself, for fear that others will not know that she is a big businessman." Mr. Chu, thank you for telling me this news, I wonder how you are going to decide? ”

"I also want to ask the general what he means." Chu Suiliang said, "At present, you and I are on an errand under the orders of the emperor, if you accept this batch of money and goods, then the favor will be done to the emperor; If you don't accept it, it will inevitably make Wu Zhao unhappy, and maybe you will also misunderstand you. Therefore, I would like to ask the general to make a decision first, and then listen to the respect. ”

"Where is she, have you seen her?" Qin Mubai asked.

"I live in a small building in Pingyao in the south of Jiangzhou City." Chu Suiliang said, "I haven't met her yet, but I just accepted the folded book first." ”

"Okay, I'll go see her first, and then I'll make a district." Qin Mubai was about to leave, thought for a while, and asked, "Chu Suiliang, what if I accept this batch of money and grain?" ”

"Such a good deed will be rewarded by the court." Chu Suiliang said, "Generally speaking, at least the name of 'Tang Yishang' should be sealed." In the future, it will be more convenient to do business. The status and identity are also different from ordinary businessmen. ”

"Thanks, I see. Then I'll go see her now, and ask my husband to send a local to show me the way." ”

"Okay."

Later, Chu Suiliang sent a small official and prepared a carriage and horse to send Qin Mubai to Pingyao Xiaozhu in the south of the city to find Wu Meiniang. Along the way, Qin Mubai was thinking, why did Wu Meiniang suddenly come to Jiangzhou? As early as more than two months ago, she left Chang'an and went to her hometown of Wenshui in Bingzhou...... That's right! Bingzhou is not very far away from Jiangzhou, could it be that she came directly from Bingzhou?

She came here for disaster relief, and it seems that she also intends to make a name for herself and get rid of her status as an ordinary businessman who is discriminated against...... Wu Meiniang, after all, is a person with lofty intentions, at a young age, she knows how to run a family court. This trick spared no expense in disaster relief and comforted the people, and it was indeed used well. Gaining fame as a martial artist would also make me a good impression on the emperor.

"I haven't seen her in a few days, and I don't know how she's doing?" While thinking about it, Qin Mubai smiled to himself slightly, "This guy, will he only carry it with me like before?" The matter between me and Princess Gaoyang has spread all over the city, and I don't know how she will feel? ”

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive in the south of the city, and the little official pointed to a chic and elegant building and said to Qin Mubai: "General, that is the Pingyao Xiaozhu, which is a place where rich and noble families or giant businessmen like to settle down. The lyrics and songs are beautiful and the singing and dancing are eye-catching, but it is a good place to enjoy leisure. ”
