(Happy Chinese New Year!) Prosperous fiscal year! ）

In the middle of the night, Hong Xuchou, who was still urgently dealing with various official documents and planning other matters, drove Mo Yun out of the study:

"Go back and rest, and come back tomorrow morning."

Mo Yun was about to complain, but the door was slammed behind him. He turned and raised his hand to knock on the door, his ears moved, his eyes glanced to the side, and a dark shadow showed a slightly indifferent side face under the night, and after a few breaths, he disappeared into the darkness.

Mo Yun's heart was clear, and then the corners of his mouth showed a slight self-deprecating smile, the person in the study was the Song State Prime Minister Hong Xuchou, and he was also one of the top three Gui of Langge, how could he rely on himself as a ranger to protect him?

"I'm sorry for you." Mo Yun passed by the place where the guard had just appeared, and said softly.

The breeze blew, and Mo Yun glanced at the corner, but it was empty.

He stood still for a moment, thought for a moment and returned to the door of the study and knocked on the door.

Sure enough, the black shadow reappeared, but it was indeed not where it was just now.

It's still a mobile sentry.

"Who?" There was a voice from inside.

"Rest early." Mo Yun said outside the door.

Inside, it seemed to be stunned for a moment, and there was a sound of pen and paper scratching, and then a mutter: "Got it." Go ahead. ”

……

Chao Gong sat in front of the desk with the lights flickering as always, not knowing what he was busy with.

Mo Yun originally skipped to go back to the room to rest, but suddenly thought of what Ji Lian said and hesitated for a moment, but curiosity still prevailed.

After a few knocks on the door, Chao Gong, who was dressed in thin clothes, appeared in front of him with a circle of dark eyes: "You haven't slept yet...... Sleepy. ”

"Aren't you either?" Mo Yun said and took a step forward.

"Huh? What to do? As soon as Chao Gong's hand was raised to stop it, Mo Yun's body had already squeezed into the room.

This room itself is a wing of the Governor's Mansion, and the decoration is simple and clean, which is consistent with the architectural style of the Governor's Mansion that was built for 24 years, and more or less reflects a certain concept of Hong Xuchou.

A long table was laid out with a lot of bamboo boards, as well as some silk cloth, and the ink cloth dedicated to writing was overflowing with ink droplets, and a Xiao ink pen dipped in ink was set aside.

Mo Yun carefully looked at the bamboo boards and silk cloths, and followed silently behind him.

"You still write poetry?" Mo Yun picked up a bamboo board and read it silently for a while, a little surprised.

"Don't you always think I'm a weak scholar, don't scholars write poetry and poetry?" Chao Gong replied angrily.

Mo Yun couldn't hear it, and after looking at it for a while, he sat down on the chair in front of the desk, staring at Chao Gong with his eyes.

Chao Gong was seen by his eyes, and his heart rose and fell one by one, and he took a few steps back with some wistfulness: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I've seen Ji Lianzhu." Mo Yun didn't plan to hide it.

Chao Gong subconsciously said "ah": "What did he say?" ”

"He told me not to get too involved with you." After a pause, Mo Yun added, "There are other people who have told me this. ”

Chao Gong said "oh" and stopped.

There was a moment of silence.

Mo Yun didn't ask, and looked Chao Gong up and down.

is still the appearance of the weak scholar, who seems to be about to fall when the wind blows, and is often silent or ...... I don't notice him very often. Xiao Qian once blocked Ji Lianzhu's knife for him, and his group also accompanied him all the way into the Song Kingdom, and then had to fall into the chaos of the Song Kingdom and couldn't break free. He was the first job Mo Yun took on his own, and he was only paid five Jun coins. Even if he said several times that once the commission is completed, there will be a good reward. However, Chao Gong's identity seemed to be an unresolved question, and from time to time it would come to Mo Yun's mind.

"Actually, if you explain things clearly, don't hide it, I at least have a number in my heart." Mo Yun said.

"I've already found Luo Xiaoyu." Chao Gong smiled, "Your task has been completed. ”

Mo Yun raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled: "In that booklet?" But there is no surname Luo? ”

Chao Gong glanced at the silk cloth on the desk, opened his mouth and blurted out the same old tone:

"I'll go to the Ranger Guild to finish the commission. I thank you for your help. ”

Mo Yun followed his gaze and searched the silk cloth for a moment, his gaze fixed on an unfinished picture of a beautiful woman.

Mo Yun looked at the woman in the picture, his eyes trembled slightly, and there was a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.

"The name of the seventy-two beauties...... Belch...... I can't remember. Mo Yun scratched his head and said embarrassedly after thinking for a long time.

"Well, thank you." Chao Gong bowed his head and smiled, "Tomorrow the beauties of the Golden Concubine Society will appear in the city, and I will go to see her." ”

"Aren't you afraid that your identity will be revealed now?" Mo Yun choked back angrily.

Chao Gong lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I was originally afraid, but now that Song Guoguo is in trouble, I am really not very afraid." Fishing in troubled waters. ”

Mo Yun stared at Chao Gong for a long time, trying to see something in his eyes, and as the corners of Chao Gong's mouth gradually calmed down the arc of the smile, his eyes gradually calmed down.

Mo Yun sighed: "Whatever you want." The task is complete, and I can also concentrate on Hong Xuchou's commission. ”

So saying, he got up and went out of the room.

Chao Gong looked at his back from behind, and was about to close the door, when Mo Yun suddenly turned his face and sniffled, and his face instantly changed to a grinning expression:

"You see there seem to be a lot of people out there who want to get you, why don't you entrust me with a new mission, and I'll help you settle them, or escort you home? The price is negotiable. ”

Chao Gong subconsciously wanted to be ironic, but he was greeted by Mo Yun's smiling eyes and the enthusiasm of concern in it.

His heart softened for a moment, and then hardened again: "Someone will arrange for us to leave." I don't want to drag you down. You wait a minute. Chao Gong returned to the desk and picked up the ink pen to write.

After a while, he handed out a piece of silk cloth: "Within a year, take this to any Pei Zihao silver bureau, and you can withdraw 100,000 Jun coins." ”

"This ...... Do what? You think what I want is a good pay? Mo Yun looked at the silk cloth, "One piece of cloth, you can get 100,000 Jun coins?" Are you bluffing me? I can't ask for it! ”

"You take it." Chao Gong curled up the silk cloth into a ball, suddenly reached out and quickly stuffed the ball into Mo Yun's pocket.

Mo Yun was inexplicably surprised, looked at Chao Gong, and then looked at the silk cloth in his pocket: "You ......"

"Thank you." The door slammed shut.

The wind that rose from the moment the door closed smashed on Mo Yun's face, suddenly cold, blowing his face hot.

The meaning of shame and anger suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, and he swam rapidly towards the limbs and hundreds of bones in a trembling manner.

Mo Yun stopped in front of the door with a trembling hand: "...... Okay, Chao Gong. You're kind! ”

Mo Yun grabbed the silk cloth in his pocket, threw it to the ground, stepped forward and stepped on it twice, then lowered his body and stuffed the silk cloth back into his pocket:

"I deserve it. I wish you all the best in your life. ”

Chao Gong's eyes behind the door warmed slightly, and then dimmed.

……

"What is the bottom line of Pei Zihao Silver Bureau?" Mo Yun returned to his room, Xiao Qian turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, and Xiao Yu fell asleep on the ground.

"Pei Zihao? Not...... Gotta find information. What's wrong? Xiao Qian asked.

Mo Yun put the silk cloth in his pocket in front of Xiao Qian with a dark face: "Hmph...... My first task was accomplished. Congratulations's reward. ”
