Ye Han trembled in fright, and quickly let go and withdrew two feet away.

Ruan Qingzhi was a little stunned, frowned and looked at him suspiciously: "What are you running?" I don't eat people! ”

Shivering at night, he maintained a posture that he could get up and run away at any time, and said vigilantly: "Don't talk nonsense!" The little girl's family, what is not to eat! ”

"The little girl wants to eat too!" Ruan Qingzhi said aggrievedly, "What do you mean by this?" Don't you like me at all? Have you not forgotten Qin Su'er? Otherwise, it's Chu Weiyang - by the way, it must be him! You see me as if I am a great enemy, it must be because of the ...... of men"

"Stop, stop!" Ye Han couldn't cry or laugh, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was even more aggrieved: "Otherwise, where should I think?" You don't have any idea of me! ”

Ye Han tentatively sat back, and explained cautiously and carefully: "It's not that you don't have ideas, it's that you are too young, if I start now, others will call me a beast." ”

"Now the whole world thinks you've done it, and no one scolds you for being a beast!" Ruan Qingzhi retorted unconvinced.

Ye Han thought about it and felt that he had been wronged. Wronged!

Ruan Qingzhi was even more aggrieved than him, muttering and complaining: "I'd rather bear the infamy of 'beast' in vain than endure it, there must be a reason." And when he explained it to me, he didn't even blush, and he was so scared of his senses. The stakes are high, and I still have to think about it seriously......"

Before she finished speaking, Ye Han suddenly pounced on her and pressed her firmly on the soft couch.

Ruan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little flustered.

What is he going to do? It's not going to be real, is it?!

"Hey, you ......" She raised her head tremblingly, her body didn't dare to move, so she had to stretch her neck hard, and stared at Ye Han's face with wide eyes.

Ye Han lowered his head, met her gaze, and said in a deep tone: "Do you need to explain to me first, how can you think about these messy things all day long at your young age?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked away and refused to answer.

Ye Han said again: "You are also from a scholarly family, even if no one teaches you, you should have learned the rules more or less, do you know that some things can only be ...... after marriage?"

"The rules also say blind marriage and dumb marriage, you can't meet before you get married, and you haven't seen me uncommonly! You're still a slave in my house, and you're still sleeping in my bed!" Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly retorted.

Ye Han thought about it and found that he was not so reasonable, his tone immediately softened a little, and he said gently: "It was a last resort before, but the big rules always have to be followed, right?" ”

"I don't care!" Ruan Qingzhi said sullenly, "I've been following the rules for hundreds of years, and I haven't received any good rewards!" I just want to be a bastard in this life, and no one will care about me! ”

"You can't take this to yourself." Seeing that she seemed to be about to get up, Ye Han hurriedly grabbed her hand and pressed her tighter: "Things still have to be considered." Now you are following me, saying that you want to treat etiquette as if it were nothing, but what will you do if something happens in the future, such as if I am defeated? Since you claim to be a conscienceless, shouldn't you leave your way out in advance? ”

Ruan Qingzhi raised his head and looked at him: "Will you lose?" ”

Ye Han bowed his head and did not answer.

Ruan Qingzhi bit the corner of his lip and thought silently for a while, then looked up at him again: "So, you deliberately alienated me for a while, because you were unsure, because you were afraid that if you failed, it would affect me?" ”

Ye Han paused and frowned: "When have I ever alienated you?" ”

"You've been distancing yourself from me." Ruan Qingzhi was gloomy, "I have felt it since I came back from Yangcheng, you are now very deliberate, very deliberately keeping a distance from me, as if you are afraid that I will entangle you." ”

"It's that you think too much," Ye Han avoided her gaze, "After all, there are more rules in Shangjing than in Yangcheng, I'm just afraid that the world won't speak well." As Lord Luan reminded me before, if I want to give you honor, I must first cherish your reputation. ”

This reason seems to be very strong, but Nguyen Qingzhi is not convinced.

Cherish her reputation outside, but what about in private? What is the purpose of the deliberate avoidance of the two when they get along in private? He used to say that he couldn't hide his like, and he couldn't help but want to hug her, kiss her, and tease her.

But now, he's pretty much holding back.

Changed your mind? Is it broken before the old man is old? Ruan Qingzhi kept beating the drum in his heart.

She had never liked anyone before, and she had never been really liked by anyone. So she really didn't understand what was going on now. Could it be because she was too active and scared people?

So should she be a little more restrained in the future and learn to look like a lady a little bit? She has been pretending to be a lady for hundreds of years, so it should be easy.

Ruan Qingzhi sighed silently and said gloomily: "Since that's the case, you can let me go." It doesn't look like that right now. ”

Ye Han was frightened by the words "let go of me", and after repeatedly confirming that she had no other meaning, he tentatively let go of his hand and sat up: "You ......"

Ruan Qingzhi didn't wait for him to speak, he stood up, straightened his clothes, took off his cloak and draped it on his body: "You are busy, I am going home." ”

"Go back to what home!" Ye Han hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed her, "Didn't you say that no one in the family dared to care about you anymore?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi frowned and looked at his hand: "I can't live with you if no one cares, what is it like!" Aren't you afraid that the people in Beijing will say that I am frivolous? ”

Ye Han subconsciously let go of his hand, and then felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block her way: "Don't go!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at him helplessly.

Ye Han gritted his teeth: "I have three days to go on the expedition, and this time life and death are uncertain, can't you stay with me for a while?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi immediately shook his head, rattle-like: "No!" It's not good for my reputation! What does it matter to me whether you live or die? Anyway, my reputation is still good, I can still marry someone else if you die! ”

"Don't you think about it!" Ye Han was immediately annoyed, "When do you still want to marry someone else?" Now the whole world knows that you are mine! You are not allowed to go anywhere for the next three days, just stay here with me! ”

Ruan Qingzhi grimaced at him and sat down angrily: "Don't regret what you say, I have been following you every inch for the past three days, and you won't be able to go out to find the girl!" ”

"Stop!" Ye Han felt that he was about to die of wrongdoing, "When have I ever been to the girl?!" ”

"It's different this time," Ruan Qingzhi was confident, "This time you are going to a place where birds don't to suppress bandits, and you may not be able to come back alive, shouldn't you ...... according to the usual practice?"

"Where is the convention? I don't have this convention! Ye Han interrupted her again, and jumped to her feet in a hurry.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't say any more, just looked at him with a worried face.

It's not a good thing to have this convention, but it doesn't seem like a good thing to have it either.

It's really hard not to think about it at such an old age!

Ye Han was uncomfortable by Ruan Qingzhi's meaningful gaze, turned around twice in place, and then circled back, with a distressed expression: "What should I do to dispel these strange thoughts of yours?" You can't ......."

"You can't just forget it!" Ruan Qingzhi stood up again angrily, "It seems that I have wronged you!" If you don't like it, just say it, I didn't say that I wanted the overlord to bow hard! ”

Lin Ping, who had just broken into the door and had something important to report, heard the latter sentence, and was so frightened that his feet shook and he happened to stumble on the threshold, and pounced in a big shape.

Ruan Qingzhi was frightened by this posture, staggered back, and coincidentally stepped on Ye Han's foot, and fell on the soft couch with him.

This is due to the fact that she fell on her back, otherwise she would have really responded to the sentence "the overlord is the bow".

Lin Ping got up easily, and he didn't dare to ask when he saw this, so he hurriedly held his legs and grinned backwards, and actually closed the door considerately.

Ruan Qingzhi struggled in Ye Han's arms for a long time and couldn't sit up, but found that Ye Han's arm had reached over and hugged her at some point.

"You let go!" Ruan Qingzhi gritted his teeth.

Ye Han chuckled: "Don't let it go." Don't you want the overlord to take the bow? You try, I don't resist. ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Ruan Qingzhi snorted angrily, broke his fingers and broke free, and stood up: "Don't even think about it!" ”

She quickly ran out and opened the door, grabbing Lin Ping, who was about to escape: "Get out of here!" ”

Lin Ping didn't dare to disobey, let alone break free, so he had to bend his legs and slowly rub in with her movements, looking very funny.

After entering the door, Ye Han had already tidied up his clothes and stood up, looking at him majestically: "What is it!" Stand up straight! ”

Lin Ping had to carefully break free of Ruan Qingzhi's hand, straightened his waist and lowered his head in response, muttering secretly in his heart: Don't mention any "military might" at this time, you have been forced to bow by the overlord!

Fortunately, Ye Han didn't say anything, only asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Ping breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "It has been determined that there are indeed two subordinates in Dali Temple who are secretly helping Lu Hanwen deliver the message. Just now, Lu Hanwen came again, said a few words, stuffed a paper bag and left. ”

Ye Han nodded and asked, "And then where did he go?" ”

Lin Ping said: "Near Xisanli. Then they lost the boat. ”

Xisanli, there are all private houses nearby, and I have never heard of the residence of any dignitaries and nobles over there.

Of course, it can't be ruled out that someone secretly set up some stronghold in the house over there, but it is more likely that Lu Hanwen found that someone was following him and deliberately went around in circles.

In short, it seems that this news has little value at present, but it has caused a lot of trouble.

The night chill is not in a good mood.

Lin Ping also knew this, and subconsciously took two steps back, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to clean up the Dali Temple......"

"No need," Ye Han said in a deep voice, "small fish and shrimp, there will be another batch after getting rid of one batch, it's not worth the effort." ”

That's nothing.

Lin Ping didn't dare to say a word, and quickly retreated.

Ye Han watched the two doors close, turned around and said to Ruan Qingzhi: "It's even more indescribable now." Believe it or not, you don't have to wait until tomorrow, Uncle Cheng and they will all know that I was forced to bow by your overlord. ”

"Phew!" Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that he choked, "Don't think I don't know you did it on purpose!" You're not afraid of losing face, I'm afraid of a fart! I tell you, just wait and be laughed at by them! ”

Ye Han sneered, and reached out to hug her again: "Why are you still angry?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi angrily shook off his hand, carried a small stool to the fireside and sat down, refusing to answer.

Ye Han had no choice, so he had to follow her example by carrying a stool and sitting side by side with her: "How can I explain to you to believe it, I really didn't deliberately alienate you!" I just can't do it, so I can only stay away...... Otherwise, I'd really just be a beast! ”

"Then you should show me!" Ruan Qingzhi turned around angrily and glared at him.

After staring at each other for a moment, Ye Han immediately avoided it, looking flustered: "Don't mess around, it's not a joke!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi had already expected him to react like this, and he was not so angry at this time.

Get used to it.

Now she really had some suspicions: if it was for her reputation, he shouldn't have stopped her from coming home just now. wants to keep her in the Golden Chestnut Garden and insists on refusing to be a "beast", thinking about it, there seems to be only one explanation.

Ruan Qingzhi sighed for a long time, and when he looked at Ye Han again, his eyes became much softer, and his tone had completely slowed down: "Don't think about it, I don't mean anything else." I'm just afraid you're embarrassed to say if you need to, but since you don't, of course forget it. Don't worry, I'll be with you no matter what, after all, I don't have a better choice. ”

Seeing that she was so reasonable, Ye Han finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that I always feel like something is wrong?

Before he could think about it, Ruan Qingzhi had already stood up and sighed: "The expedition is imminent, you must still have a lot of things to arrange, so I won't bother." ”

"What a walk!" Ye Han reached out and grabbed her again, "It's still early in the dark, you have to stay and eat with me!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the sky, and then realized that he was angry and aggrieved, and he was a little confused.

It's not dark yet.

Today's lunch was too late, and it didn't seem necessary to eat dinner, but Ruan Qingzhi didn't dare to refuse at this time, for fear that the night would be cold and in a bad mood, and he needed someone to accompany him.

So Ye Han took her by default, smiled and took her hand, and said: "When we were in the north, it snowed for more than half a year in the year, and there was usually nothing good to eat. At that time, I was guarding the border for so many years, and I still felt quite hard in my heart, but now I think about it, I miss it a lot. ”

Ruan Qingzhi followed his words and asked, "So you eat roast wild lamb today?" ”

Ye Han shook his head and smiled: "There is no place to find wild sheep in Shangjing." I asked the kitchen to get a half-sized lamb, and we roasted it ourselves. ”

"Yes," Ruan Qingzhi smiled, "You miss the soldiers in the north, and you can't see you for a while, so you retreat and let me accompany you?" ”

Ye Han was a little helpless: "How can it be good, but when it comes to your mouth, it always has to change its taste?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't answer, walked over and opened the door, and asked, "So where is the mutton......

At the door, Cheng Hu Lin Ping and a few girls fled in all directions, which frightened Ruan Qingzhi a lot, and he forgot what he didn't finish.

Ye Han came out and saw it, and immediately shouted: "Come back!" ”

The girls in the Golden Chestnut Garden have already run away. The soldiers were accustomed to obeying military orders, and when they heard his voice, they didn't dare to run anymore, and they slowly rubbed back, one by one dejected.

Ye Han looked at them, angry and funny: "What does this mean?" ”

No one answered him, and the four of them stared at the bricks on the ground with their eight eyes, as if they could make a few holes in the bricks.

After a stalemate for a long time, Cheng Hu cautiously raised his head and said, "My subordinates just want to say that the mutton you want is ready." ”

"And what are you running for?" Ye Han asked.

Cheng Hu said without confidence: "I don't know what to run." When I saw them running, I couldn't help but run with them. ”

The young boat couldn't help but shout, "Lie!" He raised his head and said loudly: "That maid Xiu'er is the one who will speak on behalf of the kitchen!" Brother Cheng was obviously guarding under the corridor before, but then he suddenly beckoned us to the door, saying that there was a lively listen! Before we could hear anything, the county lord of Qingyang came out! ”

Ye Han looked at the other two: "What Xiaozhou said is the truth?" ”

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison. Ye Han looked at Cheng Hu: "Leaving his post without permission is the first crime; Spying on military aircraft, sin two; Lying, sin three. ”

Cheng Hu's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down on one knee: "The Great Commander forgives his sins!" ”

Ye Han was in a very bad mood and didn't want to forgive his sins, so he turned around and asked Ruan Qingzhi, "How to deal with it?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked up at the sky and refused to answer his words.

Seeing this, the two guards quietly exchanged glances and laughed at the same time. Cheng Hu also wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at this moment.

The three crimes listed by Ye Han just now are all big things in the army, and if you don't get it, you will lose your head.

He was really spoiled after following the county lord of Qingyang for a while, and he even dared to forget the rules in the army, this is to be the end of the game!

Sure enough, after thinking about it for a while, Ye Han quickly made a very cruel decision: "I will punish you to clean up the snow on every path in the Golden Chestnut Garden within three days." If I find a snowflake left, you won't have to go back to the Northwest again! ”

At first, Cheng Hu was relieved to hear that he had cleared the snow, and then immediately realized that something was wrong.

During these days, a few snowflakes are going to fall every once in a while, and he can't care about it! If the snow didn't stop after three days, what could he do to sweep the path clean? Isn't this bullying!

But he didn't dare to question it.

Who let him find his own death, and actually had the audacity to run to listen to the corner between His Highness and the county lord - His Highness was so embarrassed that he was taken down by the little girl, and he was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger, but it was not because he happened to bump into the muzzle of the gun!

Cheng Hu was annoyed in his heart, and was thinking about finding the county lord of Qingyang to help him plead for mercy, but when he looked up, he saw that Ruan Qingzhi had already thrown his sleeves and walked away. Ye Han didn't say anything more, and hurriedly chased after him.

So Cheng Hu immediately became happy again, forgetting even his own crisis, and hurriedly pulled the cuffs of the person next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Guess, how long will it take for our master to coax the county lord well?" ”

The two guards next to him looked at him, and they were very helpless: "Big brother, can you first think of saving your own life and then watching the excitement?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Cheng Hu waved his hand indifferently, "There is the county lord of Qingyang!" Our lord is iron-faced and selfless, but how can the county lord of Qingyang not intercede for me? ”

Lin An glanced at him worriedly, and finally didn't say anything, and hurriedly ran to follow Ye Han to listen to his orders.

Ye Han chased Ruan Qingzhi to the warm pavilion in the garden, and when he saw her stop, he cautiously followed her and asked, "Eat here?" ”

"Okay." Ruan Qingzhi looked at the plum blossoms planted everywhere in the pavilion and responded with a smile.

Ye Han quietly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly called someone to give orders, and pulled Ruan Qingzhi to sit down again, and said with a smile: "The plum blossoms in this place are the best in the garden." It's a pity that it's late at this time and I can't see clearly, so I can only borrow a little plum fragrance, which is barely elegant. ”

Ruan Qingzhi said lightly: "If you have a fire here to barbecue meat for a while, it won't be elegant." ”

Ye Han smiled again when he heard this: "People are elegant, and everything they do is elegant." ”

Ruan Qingzhi turned to look at him and frowned: "Aren't you a martial artist, why do you keep talking about 'Qingya'?" Could it be that fighting at the border does not rely on swords and guns, but on the brocade heart? ”

Ye Han leaned closer to her, deliberately squeezed her in the corner, and then replied pretending to be careless: "The border is lonely, all year round you see either grass or snow, and the soldiers will inevitably be more sentimental." ”

Ruan Qingzhi was amused by him, but he didn't reject his approach, he simply leaned on his shoulder and narrowed his eyes: "This time I went to suppress bandits, although it was not as cold as the border pass, but it was almost the same, right?" And I have heard that the north is mountainous, and the thieves are cunning, which is clearly a chore, and I am afraid that it is a thankless kind, why did you agree so quickly? ”

"It's not a chore, and it's not my turn," Ye Han smiled indifferently, "and besides, I don't agree to what he commands!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi lowered his head and sighed: "You should at least try to talk to him about the price or something." You promised too happily, he still thought you were a bully, and he would look for you next time he encountered this kind of thing! ”

"There's no next time." Ye Han smiled.

Ruan Qingzhi sat up again and looked at him: "Are you planning to get the bottom thorough?" No matter how I think about it, I think it's too hasty, especially now that there are still a lot of things in Beijing that haven't been cleaned up...... What the hell is going on with that Lu Hanwen? Is the hundred-legged insect of the wise king dead but not stiff? ”

"It's not clear yet," Ye Han muttered, "but nothing is foolproof. I feel more than half sure that I can just let it go. ”

So, it's still risky.

Seeing that the little servants had sent the stove and the cut mutton, Ruan Qingzhi didn't ask any more questions, but sighed secretly in his heart.

After all, there is still a risk.

"So, I really won't go with you this time." She said, "I'm in Shangjing, and I can barely help you keep an eye on it, and if there is any important news, I will send it to you." ”

"Okay," Ye Han smiled easily, "Then let's pass the book on the wild goose, and we can't break the news." ”

Ruan Qingzhi nodded, and wanted to say "I'll wait for you" several times, but he felt too hypocritical and didn't say it, so he had to get up and hurriedly tell the little girls to light the lamp, and then let the girls cut meat skewers, and refused to stop for a moment.
