"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" Zheng Yi and the others then rushed over, and when they saw Su Qiange's embarrassed appearance, they couldn't help but turn their faces away and look away.

"Third brother, how are you?" The little boy ran to the third obedient, untied the rope on his body, and slowly helped him up.

The three obedient smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, it's just a stick, I can still stand it, master." ”

As he spoke, he moved, not wanting the wound that had not yet healed to tear open again, and in an instant cold sweat flowed, making him grin in pain.

"Ge'er, let's go back." Xue Chen took off his coat and covered Su Qiange's body, and straightened her messy hair, her hands trembling with anger could not be calmed down.

Xue Chen picked up Su Qiange by the waist and touched her wet clothes, and his face was even more dissatisfied.

"Master Hou, it's cold outside." Zheng Yi hurriedly ripped off his coat and attached it to Xue Chen's coat.

Xue Chen didn't speak, and glanced back at the unblinded village owner, and the anger on his face was even worse.

"Ge'er, how to deal with it here?" The best way to relieve Su Qiange's anger is to let her decide the fate of those people, even though they have already died.

"Burn it." Su Qiange buried his head in Xue Chen's arms, silently felt his heartbeat, and said in a muffled voice.

"Chop off the man's hand and burn it." Xue Chen ordered coldly, picked up Su Qiange and walked out.

On the carriage, Su Qiange had already changed her clothes, her soaked hair had been reorganized, and her mood didn't seem to fluctuate, if it weren't for the redness and swelling on her face that was still hot, she would have even forgotten what had just happened.

It's just that Xue Chen is not so forgetful, he looked at Su Qiange, and he couldn't speak several times when he wanted to speak.

"What's wrong?" Su Qiange wanted to pretend that she didn't see it, but Xue Chen's desire to speak was too obvious for her to ignore.

"Ge'er, it's my fault, I ......"

Su Qiange hurriedly made a gesture to shut up, looked at Xue Chen's guilty eyes, smiled and shook his head, from just now to now, Xue Chen's words of apology have not stopped, this matter has nothing to do with him, and Su Qiange doesn't want him to feel guilty anymore.

Xue Chen knew that Su Qiange was not a hypocritical person, and he would not blame him for this matter.

Thinking that going on like this might make Su Qiange even more uncomfortable, Xue Chen had no choice but to hide all the guilt in his heart and sighed, "Hungry or not, I'll let them cook some porridge, let's drink some first." ”

On the way back to Beijing, the conditions were insufficient, and Zheng Yi explained to the cook for a long time before he could barely make such a bowl that was quite satisfactory.

Su Qiange was about to reach out and take it, but Xue Chen put the bowl back again, "That's it, I'll feed you." ”

Su Qiange originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Xue Chen's appearance, he didn't seem to give himself a chance to refute, so he had to nod.

The third obedient leg was not seriously injured, but he was afraid that he would not be able to ride a horse along the way, so Zheng Yi asked the little obedient to escort him back to Beijing later, and he returned to Beijing first with the big team.

Closer and closer to the capital, the emperor specially arranged for the army to meet at the gate of the city, and he saw the welcoming procession on both sides from afar, the momentum was huge, as if they were the generals who returned to the dynasty in victory.

Zuo Ye was still half-lying in the prisoner car, squinting at the battle that was getting closer and closer, and the scene of himself riding a horse through here appeared in front of him, it was still a magnificent city gate, and the welcome battle was the same, Zuo Ye had a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, these had nothing to do with him.

Xue Chen sent Zuo Ye to the prison, and entered the palace with Su Qiange to face the saint, the two stood in the court, and explained what Zuo Ye had committed in the north in 1510.

"I originally thought that by banishing him to that wild place, he would definitely repent, but I didn't expect to commit such a heinous crime, and I ordered him to be beheaded in three days, and the Marquis of Pingnan was appointed as the supervisor."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, because of anger, the emperor's crown also swayed around, Su Qiange had no intention of listening to him, raised his head slightly, his eyes looked left and right along the jade bead, Xue Chen coughed slightly, and reminded her.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Weichen will not be competent." Xue Chen bowed down and refused, he would never do this prison beheading.

"Oh? Why? Probably didn't expect Xue Chen to refuse so simply, the emperor squinted slightly, full of inquiry.

"Back to Your Majesty, the drought in the north has not been resolved, Weichen will return to Beijing this time, and he will set off after two days of rest.

Zuo Ye did something wrong, and being beheaded was naturally due to the crime, Xue Chen knew it very well, but for some reason, he didn't want to see him die with his own eyes.

"In that case, then I will send someone to supervise and behead again, by the way, Su Yushi, what will I gain by going to the north this time?" The emperor didn't pursue Xue Chen's thoughts anymore, since he didn't want to go, it would be good to send someone else.

Su Qiange saw that the jade bead was fascinated, and when she heard the emperor ask her, she hurriedly responded, "Back to the emperor, it's all good." ”

The emperor was obviously not satisfied with Su Qiange's answer, and shook his head, "I was only fortunate enough to go to the north when I was young, and after so many years, I don't know what it has become, is there anything interesting about Su Yushi's history to tell me?" ”

"Fun fact?" Su Qiange frowned and thought about it, "Bringing Zuo Ye back is the biggest gain of our trip." ”

"Su Yushi has made such a great contribution to the north this time, I think the people who came over there are very grateful to you, right?"

The emperor smiled happily, as if he was sincerely happy for Su Qiange, but Su Qiange felt that behind that smile, there was something hidden that she couldn't understand.

"The people of the north can be so lucky, it is also because of the emperor's compassion, we are also because of the emperor's assignment to go to the north, we returned to Beijing this time, in addition to escorting Zuo Ye, but also entrusted by the people, thank the emperor for his grace."

Xue Chen took the lead in answering the question for Su Qiange, Su Qiange has always been not afraid of imperial power, and his relationship with the emperor is not bad, so it naturally doesn't matter if he jokes with each other.

It's just that in today's court, Xue Chen vaguely felt that they seemed to have changed something before, and hurriedly led Su Qiange's words over.

The two had a tacit understanding before, Su Qiange nodded at Xue Chen's words, and saluted the man in the dragon robe, "Su Qiange took the entrustment of the people in the north, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

The emperor hid the emotion in his eyes, and waved his hand to signal Su Qiange to be exempt, "I know, the people in the north are protected by Su Yushi, and I am relieved." ”

"The emperor is serious, this is what I should do." Su Qiange

"Your Majesty, Weichen has retired." The two of them also stayed in this hall for a long time, and Xue Chen saw that the matter had been reported, so he bowed and retired.

The emperor did not respond to Xue Chen's farewell, but just glanced at Su Qiange, who was obviously a little absent-minded, and said with great concern, "Su Yushi can arrange it for a while?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I just came back from the north to meet me, and I haven't returned home yet." Su Qiange's meaning should be understood by everyone in the court.

"In this case, then you should step back first, by the way, Su Yushi, the business of the restaurant has been good recently."

"Your Majesty Xie is concerned, and Weichen retires."

Su Qiange didn't understand why the emperor mentioned the restaurant, thinking that something was wrong, and he couldn't stay at the moment.

Su Qiange and Xue Chen came out of the palace, and when they saw Xue Chen's expression the same as himself, they guessed that he might have the same thoughts.

"Xue Chen, do you think the emperor is weird this time?"

Although this time, the emperor's attitude towards them was as good as ever, and even the welcoming battle when he came back was a little more than in the past, but even if he had been thoughtful so far, Su Qiange still felt strange.

"Maybe we're tired along the way, and our state is not good, which makes the emperor worried, Ge'er, don't think about it."

Xue Chen understood Su Qiange's concerns, but he didn't want her to worry about it, maybe they were thinking too much.

"Okay, by the way, the emperor just asked me about the restaurant, is there something wrong with the restaurant, no, I have to go and see."

Thinking of the emperor's words before leaving just now, Su Qiange suddenly became nervous, she had been away for so long, she should also go back to take a look.

"I'll go with you." Xue Chen had already arranged for the people of the Pingnan Hou Mansion to guard there before leaving, plus the restaurant itself had excellent protective measures, so there would be no problems, but since Su Qiange was so worried, they would go and take a look.

The carriage outside the palace was ready, and the two walked directly to the restaurant.

The streets of the capital are always so lively, Su Qiange didn't want to disturb the people, so she had to let the carriage go slowly, so she couldn't be in a hurry, so she simply relaxed, poked her head out of the carriage, and looked at the bustling crowd.

Xue Chen was not interested in things on the street, and occasionally Su Qiange pointed out something to him, but he just nodded and perfunctory.

"What's wrong?" Su Qiange realized that something was wrong with Xue Chen, and opened his mouth with some worry.

"I want to meet Zuo Ye." Since that day, Xue Chen has never seen Zuo Ye again, and he was beheaded three days later, but Xue Chen's mind has been thinking about the events of that day, and he always feels that the person wants to say something to him.

"Come out of the restaurant, I'll go with you." The restaurant is not far in front, as long as she goes to see that there is no problem, she is relieved.

Xue Chen's eyes were a little complicated, this time he went to see Zuo Ye, he was bound to pull out some old things, and the secrets he had kept silent about would definitely be completely exposed in front of Su Qiange.

"Ge'er, if that Zuo Ye says something, you don't have to take it to heart, I didn't want to hear those old things on this trip."

Xue Chen has always been reluctant to mention that old incident, but with the lesson of the last time, he didn't want Su Qiange to be hurt because of his bad mood.

The curtains of the carriage window were blown by the wind, and Xue Chen's somewhat messy hair also flew away because of the rush all the way, and those scattered hair strands were as chaotic as his thoughts at this time.

Before Su Qiange could tell Xue Chen that she already knew about the past, she reached out and rearranged the hair crown for Xue Chen, "It's okay, I'm just bored to take a look, as for what Zuo Ye has to say, I don't want to hear it at all." ”

"It's okay to listen to it, but don't take it personally." Xue Chen also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Su Qiange about his parents, but if Zuo Ye mentioned it this time, then he wouldn't have to reveal his scars.

"Okay." Su Qiange was amused by Xue Chen's entanglement, it would be good to be able to accompany him, and the rest was not important.

The restaurant finally arrived, Su Qiange knew that she was thinking too much when she heard the noisy voice, she turned her head to look at Xue Chen, and said helplessly, "Don't say it, the emperor asked so much just now, I was indeed a little scared in my heart." ”

This restaurant was built by Su Qiange when she came to Dayun and poured all her heart and soul into it, and it was very important to her, if something really happened because of poor care, then she would definitely blame herself.

"Let's go, everyone must miss you." Xue Chen scratched the tip of Su Qiange's nose, whispered a word of comfort, and pulled her out of the carriage.
