Behind the hall of the Governor's Mansion is a patio with a local style, and when water sources are scarce, people tend to build houses around it, of course, the wells at this time are mostly decorative, and the cloisters on both sides of the palace are very busy.

The woman who had left the table came to the bottom of the porch, leaned against a pillar that was waist-thick, and showed a look of disgust, but was surprised to be hugged from behind.

"Ah Miao, it's so-and-so."

The woman stopped struggling, and there was still a little surprise on her face: "Qilang, how did you get here, no, there are too many people here, and they will be seen by the next people." ”

"What if you see it, who dares to say it, Lao Tzu ended up on him."

Bai Xiaode hugged her waist without hesitation, lowered his head, and rubbed her face while smelling the fragrance of her hair, stubble slid over her delicate skin, stabbing the woman to the ground.

"I can't."

The woman had to push him away with all her might, straighten her clothes, and said apologetically: "The slave can't come out for too long, and he will have to return to the table in a while, so you should go in early." ”

Bai Xiaode couldn't stand her coldness, and smashed his fist on the pillar with hatred, making a "dong dong" sound.

"Ah Miao, you are a certain person, such and such a person!"

"So what, the slave's deed is in the hands of the governor, to put it bluntly, it's just a plaything for him, if you really have this heart, why didn't you redeem the slave at that time? Also, even if you take the slave away, how can the in the family tolerate it, I am afraid that it will be sold to others as soon as it changes hands, and now, the governor will give the slave to Liu Wulang, you know his reputation, I am afraid that it is hopeless to see you again in this life. ”

"If you don't accept it, whoever gets you will succeed, why is he the one who is biased?" Bai Xiaode couldn't hear this name the most, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"What can you do if you are not convinced, you and I have met for a while, Shichiro, the slave is leaving, you take care." The woman reached out and stroked his cheek, revealing a poignant smile.

Seeing the woman walking by, Bai Xiaode couldn't bear it at the thought that she was going to meet that person, and at the moment when the woman was about to go away, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, the force was so great that the woman couldn't bear the pain, and almost screamed in surprise.

"What do you do!"

"Ah Miao, let's go with so-and-so, get out of here, let's go to Hexi, and never be separated again, okay?"

"You let go first." The woman broke free of his hand, rubbed her wrist, and said in pain: "You are crazy, you can say such things." ”

Seeing that he was still unwilling, he persuaded softly: "The slave was born as an advocate, and now he has redeemed himself and become a slave in the White Mansion, even if he gives up this identity, he is just a fugitive slave, how much difference is there?" ”

"But you're different, Qilang, you're a man, you want to make a contribution, do something, you can't be a slave, you can't be charged with fornication because of a slave, you can never raise your head again in this life, your kindness today, the slave can be received, but in the future, when you are ridiculed and ridiculed by others, you will definitely regret it, at that time, the slave will become your angry lamb, you won't think, you and I will become a couple of grudges from now on, right?"

Bai Xiaode couldn't make a sound anymore, the woman's words hit his heart, not so much that he was obsessed with her, but that he was unwilling to see her about to follow others, if he wanted to take a lifetime for this, how could it be?

But when he thought that his beloved woman was crushed by that person, he even lost the courage to go in, and only thought that the farther away from here was better.

Seeing the man withdraw and leave, it turned out to be faster than her own movements, Du Miaoru's face slowly sank, and the red mark on her wrist reminded her that whether it was the man outside or the man inside, there was actually no difference, they just regarded themselves as playthings.

The singing and dancing in the hall continued, the dancers changed batch after batch, Liu Ji couldn't see what they were dancing anymore, only Feng Hao, who was next to him, danced excitedly, looking suffocated.

He really didn't have much interest in the noble art of music, and if it weren't for the beautiful birth and little dressing of those dancing girls, he would have left early in the morning.

Originally, there was a well-born woman to serve, and it was interesting to drink and flirt, but now the woman doesn't know where she went, and there is a middle-aged uncle sitting next to her who is silent.

Bai Xiaojie was also lacking in interest, he thought that the other party was just a reckless man, and he could win it by giving some benefits to his face, but he didn't expect that he had never proposed anything, but the other party exposed his mind in one bite, and it was straightforward, but it seemed like a rumored character.

But is this sensitivity intentional or unintentional? He couldn't make up his mind, and he couldn't continue the typed draft, and the scene seemed a little cold for a while.

"Du Du Shengyi, I have seen it, to be honest, it is an eye-opener, but it is just ......"

Liu Ji really didn't want to be perfunctory any longer, and was about to get up to say goodbye, Bai Xiaojie raised his head unconsciously, and said abruptly.

"What do you think about trade routes?"

Liu Ji, who had already spoken out, was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that he wouldn't think of speaking now, is it so difficult to speak.

"The governor said this, and I don't understand it."

"You understand, I've been thinking about it just now, you insist on severely punishing that Wang Weiliang, it's not just a personal grudge." Bai Xiaojie said with a clear look in his eyes.

"I don't know, but please make it clear."

Bai Xiaojie didn't believe it at all, and said with a serious face: "Wulang doesn't have to be secret, I invited you to come today, and I have the intention of telling you bluntly, if you and I still turn around the corner, I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be unclear trouble." ”

Liu Ji felt a pang in his heart, he could already roughly guess what the other party wanted to say.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaojie continued: "Beiting guards the western artery, and the things in the customs can't avoid it, and now the enemies of Dashi and Tubo have been destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty is as prosperous as the sky, and the trip of the merchant is at the right time." ”

"Wang Weiliang's meritorious service this time, at least he can be promoted to the Han Sea Envoy, west of Tingzhou, all under his wings, I heard that in the Tubo War, you have some misunderstandings with him, I guess you will not be willing to be a neighbor with him, and you will not be able to live in peace every day."

I have to say that Bai Xiaojie is telling the truth, the Han Navy is the main force in Beiting, with more than 12,000 troops and 4,000 cavalry, if Wang Weiliang wants to trouble him, the consequences will be much more serious than what Bai Xiaojie said, so he will catch the other party's mistakes and investigate them to the end.

"If the Governor knows, why would he persuade me to let him go?" Liu Ji asked rhetorically.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaojie replied in surprise: "Who said that we are trying to persuade you to let him go?" ”
