(Xie: Su Heiyi, fish that eats light weapons, and a monthly reward for several brothers of the casual ronin.) ）

Seeing Li Shizhi and his family's car disappear to the east of Baqiao, Wang Yuan also sighed to himself, and from Li Shizhi's body, he deeply felt the danger and helplessness of this era. If you are in it, you can only climb upwards desperately, and you must not slack off, otherwise you will fall into the abyss anytime and anywhere.

"Brother, go back." The eldest sister Huang Ying packed up the dishes and came to call Wang Yuan, who was standing on the road and looking.

Wang Yuan turned around and got on his horse and walked back slowly, not long after walking, but he saw a person on the road to Chang'an hurrying over, the man was wearing a long robe and shouldering a package, stretching his neck to look around.

Wang Yuan stood still, frowned and shouted, "Is it Brother Liu?" ”

The man on the side of the road was stunned, saw Wang Yuan's face clearly, and exclaimed in surprise: "Why is it Master Wang?" Why are you here? ”

The person who came was Liu Xunzhi, who used to be one of the stewards under Li Shizhi, and when Wang Yuan was in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, he really took care of Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan hurriedly jumped off the horse to salute, and said, "I just came to give Li Zuoxiang a ride, where are you going?" ”

Liu Xun was sweating profusely, wiping his sweat while returning the salute, and said in surprise: "Are you here to send Zuo Xianggong?" How did you come? ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Why can't I come?" ”

Liu Xun hurriedly said: "Forgive me for my miswords, Master Wang can naturally come." What about the left minister? I'm here to see him off, too. ”

Wang Yuan pointed to the east and said, "It's already past the Baqiao, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up." ”

Liu Xun was stunned and sighed: "It's still a step late, I'm still a step late, I missed it." ”

Wang Yuan said: "Why didn't you go to Yichun with him?" I saw that none of the people who accompanied him were gone. ”

Liu Xun's face darkened, and he sighed: "Zuo Xiang is kind to me, I was going to follow him, but it's a pity...... Ay...... It's hard to put into words. ”

Wang Yuan pulled him to sit down on the roadside stones, and inquired about the reason, only then did he know what happened in Li Shizhi's mansion during this time. The servants in the Li Mansion were dispersed, and the scribes did not say goodbye, leaving only the oldest confidants in the Li Mansion, Liu Xunzhi and Liang Sigui. And Liang Si was in charge of the property in Li Shizhi's house, and he had contacted Li Yong many times, had property dealings, and was involved in the case. Liu Xunzhi has always been reluctant to get involved with property, but he was spared from being implicated.

However, for some reason, Liang Sigui was arrested, but Li Shizhi blamed Liu Xunzhi for always being wise and able to protect himself. After drinking, he angrily accused Liu Xun of being cunning, no wonder he has been unwilling to take responsibility, it turned out that he was afraid of being implicated. Liu Xun was speechless and disheartened, so he could only resign and leave, but he was reprimanded by Li Shizhi for being unkind, and Liu Xunzhi left Li Shizhi's Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion in tears.

Wang Yuan listened to Liu Xunzhi's narration in astonishment, and secretly sighed in his heart that Li Shizhi was unreasonable, it was his extreme and narrow-minded character that caused him to have no loyal people around him. Being in a high position is certainly a good place, but once unlucky, no one will feel sorry for him and give him comfort.

"What are Brother Liu's plans for the future?"

"I came to bid farewell to Zuo Xianggong today, and then I went back to my hometown in the south to buy a few acres of old land, and I will never come to Chang'an again." Liu Xun looked haggard and said in a low voice.

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Is there anyone else in my hometown?" ”

Liu Xunzhi smiled bitterly: "After being away from home for decades, I'm afraid that the old people in the family are gone." ”

Wang Yuan said: "Mr. Liu, I have always remembered you for taking care of me. If you go back to your hometown at this moment, I'm afraid that things and people will be difficult to stabilize. I have a request, I wonder if Mr. Liu is willing? ”

Liu Xun said straightly: "Bachelor Wang is still polite to me, but that's it." ”

Wang Yuan got up and bowed and said: "There is a shortage of people like Mr. Liu in my house, I sincerely invite Mr. Liu to be in charge of my house, Mr. Liu is well-informed, and many things will be beneficial to me, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

Liu Xun was stunned and said, "You...... Do you really want to ask me to be a steward in your house? ”

"Then can there be a fake? I mean it out. ”

Liu Xunzhi couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes, but he slowly shook his head and said: "I know that you remember the old feelings, and I did take care of you in the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning, but I feel uneasy to receive your favor because of this." ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "What does it mean to receive my favor, I asked you to be my guest and give advice for me." You also know that I am also an official now, and there is no one around me who can talk and discuss, so how can it be? At the beginning, I talked with Mr. Liu about the affairs of the DPRK and China in the Liu Garden, and since then I have thought that Mr. Liu has a clear view of things, and I have wanted to ask you to help me for a long time, but you know, you are a member of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and I can't dig into the corner of Li Zuoxiang. ”

Liu Xun smacked his lips and said, "This ...... This...... I'm just a mediocre talent, otherwise Zuo Xiangyan would have been able to get where he is today. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "I can also understand Li Zuoxiang's temperament, he will only think that he is right, and he will not listen to your suggestions, which has nothing to do with the people around you." Don't hesitate, if you think I'm not worthy of your help, then please, I'll give you some money to help you live. If you don't want to just go home and die, why don't you join me, maybe you can help me achieve a career. ”

Liu Xun threw it in the package, bowed and saluted: "The bachelor is so kind, if Xun Zhi doesn't agree, he doesn't know how to lift." ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "This is called fate, I came to bid farewell to Li Zuoxiang, but I didn't expect to meet you." In the past few days, I have ordered someone to check your news to no avail, but I didn't expect to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, so it took no effort to get it. ”

Liu Xun sighed: "Bachelor Wang's two sentences are in chapters, and he is still the talented prince Wang, admire and admire." ”

Wang Yuan laughed, beckoned someone to vacate a horse, let Liu Xun get on the horse, and the two walked side by side to talk about going back to the city.

……

In the evening, when Wang Yuan was practicing swords under the guidance of Gongsun Lan, he was practicing to the end, Wang Yuan suddenly found that Gongsun Lan was stunned and looked at the west without moving, and secretly pinched her hand and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Miss Lan is back." Gongsun Landau.

Wang Yuan turned his head to look, and saw a small figure dragging a long shadow in the sunset on the west path of the house, it was Lan Xinhui, who had been away for a few days. Wang Yuan hurriedly packed up and stepped forward with Gongsun Lan.

Lan Xinhui was wearing ordinary clothes, carrying a package of blue cloth flowers on her arm, with a sad expression on her face, and she looked preoccupied. But seeing Wang Yuan's rushing over, Lan Xinhui still smiled.

"Miss Lan, you're back." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Lan Xinhui saluted and said, "When the son returned to Beijing, the slaves did not welcome the son." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Isn't there something wrong with you?" How is Sister Ling's condition? I asked San Lang to send good medicine and asked Hao Langzhong to heal him, is it effective? ”

Lan Xinhui's expression darkened, and she said in a low voice: "Thank you, son, sister, she doesn't need to take medicine now, and Lang Zhong doesn't need to be invited." ”

Wang Yuanxi said: "Have you recovered?" Congratulations. ”

Lan Xinhui bit her lower lip, her eyes were already full of tears. Wang Yuan was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Gongsun Lan gently pulled Wang Yuan's sleeve, Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Could it be ...... Isn't it good? ”

Lan Xinhui squatted on the ground with her hands on her face, tears gushing out from between her fingers, and she couldn't cry.

Wang Yuan's heart was cold, and when he realized that things were not good, Gongsun Lan stepped forward and squatted down, hugged Lan Xinhui's shoulders and comforted: "Condolences change." ”

Wang Yuan exclaimed: "What? Your sister is ...... Passed away? ”

Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Yuan with disgust, stretched out his finger and pointed to a white flower on Lan Xinhui's sideburns, and Wang Yuan understood everything. Once a white flower is planted on a woman's head, there must be a funeral, otherwise no one will put a white flower on her head. In the past few days, Wang Yuan has always wanted to take a look at Lan Xiang'er's condition, but he always felt embarrassed to meet, so he asked Huang San to ask Lang Zhong to send medicine to help, but he didn't expect that he would still die.

"Let's mourn." Wang Yuan sighed, although Lan Xiang'er was not very familiar with him, after all, before he crossed into this body, there was a relationship between the owner of this skin bag and Na Lan Xiang'er, and there was also a skin kiss. Although it has nothing to do with me, I always feel that I can't completely ignore it. When Lan Xiang'er was alive, she was never willing to see her more, and it was still a profligacy. woman, but once she heard the news of his death, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Prince Wang, I beg you for one thing." Lan Xinhui, who was squatting on the ground and crying, stood up suddenly, and said to Wang Yuan with tears on her face.

Wang Yuan said: "What's the matter, you say it." ”

Lan Xinhui knelt down in front of Wang Yuan with a pout, gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I ask Gongzi to help my sister avenge." As long as the son avenges my sister, the slave is willing to be a cow and a horse. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly helped her up, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, you tell me." ”
