Zhuge Xiaoyu was having dinner in the Changting Guard Yamen when he learned that Zhenqing was rebelling, and after hearing the news, he put down his rice bowl and ran to the palace, but he was still half a step late, and when he came to the palace gate, he knew that Master Wen had already gone to see the driver.

At that time, Zhuge Xiaoyu stood quietly in front of the palace gate for a while, turned around and left, he did not go back to the yamen, but returned home directly...... A few little babies were very happy, and the already sensible eldest son seemed to give a salute to his father, and the other dolls simply asked directly: "Why did Daddy come back so early?" ”

In Ping, Lord Zhuge is busy with official business, and he has to go home late at night on four of the ten days, and he simply lives in the yamen for the other six days.

He smiled at the dolls: "Come back and see, you guys go play first." After saying that, he first went to greet his parents, talked for a while, and then came out and played with the children for a while. Mrs. Zhuge didn't have him, just watched from the side with a smile, until it was completely dark, Zhuge Xiaoyu bowed to her parents' room from afar, and told the dolls to be obedient, and finally nodded to Mrs., got up and left the mansion.

He still hasn't returned to Yamen, this time he went to the most prosperous Fengyue Land in Eye City and even Middle Earth, and it has nothing to do with Fengyue Fang.

Zhuge Xiaoyu has already changed out of his official uniform, and he can do it in micro-clothes, and one person and one ride are not noticeable, but where he went... If Song Yang was present, he would probably be taken aback: the deal of the party and Li Mingji, and the Frost Leakage Pavilion.

As always, Ye Feifei is still standing at the door, the girls in the foyer of the other Red Pavilion are all fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, Ye Feifei was the same at the beginning, but three years have passed, she is a lot taller, her eyebrows and eyes are more and more charming, and the indifference in her expression has become heavier, with her age, she should no longer be a doorman, but unfortunately there is no way, who made her the henchman of everyone's sister.

Seeing Zhuge Xiaoyu coming, Ye Feifei was also slightly surprised. However, this surprise has nothing to do with panic and fear, but it is somewhat similar to the surprise of the dolls when Zhuge returned home. It seems that Lord Zhuge is a frequent visitor here, and the little girl's 'accident' is just because he came too early.

Ye Feifei greeted him: "It's rare to be particularly idle today?" "I don't call myself an adult, I don't greet him, and I don't even have a desk name, obviously everyone is very familiar with it.

Zhuge Xiaoyu didn't answer, but just asked, "Is she there?" Ye Feifei nodded, turned around and walked into the building with Zhuge , and made a gesture to the surroundings as he walked through the hallway. After they entered, another little maid was put on to greet them... Frost Leaky Pavilion is not an ordinary place, there are often anti-thieves coming and going, but all the same party knows the rules here, as long as Ye Feifei is not at the door, even if the sky falls, he can't step into the building half a step.

…… Li Mingji is a thief, but she is not busy rebelling every day, on the contrary, she is usually very idle, and at the moment she is eating the first grapes that have just been put on the market, while settling accounts with her husband.

Seeing Zhuge Xiaoyu coming, everyone Li was also stunned, but they didn't say anything, Mr. Accounts retreated, Ye Feifei arranged four exquisite side dishes and a small jar of good wine, and then retreated, and the huge room looked extremely empty.

There was no entertainment from the boss of the Qinglou to the official-faced figures, and he didn't even speak, until Li Mingji poured wine, Zhuge Xiaoyu shook his head: "Don't drink anymore, you may enter the palace later, and the smell of alcohol is not appropriate." Imperceptibly, Li Mingji frowned slightly... In the past, he came, sometimes looking relaxed and sometimes tired, but in any case, he would not come here to look for her until he understood his official duties.

This time, knowing that he might enter the palace, but he was not waiting in the yamen, he still wanted to come to the Frost Leaky Pavilion?

Li Mingji didn't ask much, and responded: "Then you drink fruit sher, and I will accompany you with wine." As he spoke, he changed the drink for him, poured himself a full glass of wine, raised his hand, invited him, and drank it all.

The two chatted casually, completely unfocused, and looked like a sullen meal, but if you look closely, you will find that when they are facing each other, their demeanor is very different from usual.

Maybe it's because of the position, Zhuge Xiaoyu has always had a gloomy gaze and an indifferent expression, as if he had just jumped out of the extremely cold ice field, and there was a faint cold aura on his body; And the Frost Leaky Pavilion is famous for its coldness and glamorousness, and the eldest sister Li Mingji is its leader, and her pretty face is always high.

But now, the yin owl is no longer cold and glamorous, just two ordinary people, a thin man in his thirties and a beautiful woman of similar age sitting opposite each other, with peaceful and contented eyes... If you change places, they are like a couple.

After three drinks, Li Mingji put down his wine glass: "There is no hurdle that cannot be passed, I will help you." ”

Today's meeting is different from every time in the past, coming so early, meeting to meet the saint, and then his eyes, although they are still peaceful, but the brilliance in their eyes is no longer there, Li Mingji doesn't know what happened, but with her scheming, it is not difficult to see his depression.

She understands Zhuge Xiaoyu. He is a man who refuses to admit defeat and will not give up until the end...... If there is really trouble, he will not come to himself to relieve his sorrows, but will only go head-on, unless he encounters a hurdle that he can't pass.

Zhuge Xiaoyu was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Four days ago, a large army and horses in the southwest reversed. As he spoke, he put a piece of candied fruit into Li Mingji's porcelain plate, and then changed his words: "Three years ago, there was a riot on September 8, Luo Guan rebelled, and the thieves rebelled, and Wu Yiwei did not notice it in advance, and I, the chief officer, committed the crime of dereliction of duty; By the second Jingshi fire last year, everyone understood that it was [***] and not an accidental natural disaster, and Wu Yiwei was seriously derelict in his duties... In two major disasters, countless officials were convicted, but Banzai did not hold me strictly accountable. But this time, a big rebellion, I, the chief agent of the secret agent, got the news no earlier than ordinary ministers......"

Zhuge Xiaoyu raised his head, met Li Mingji's eyes, and looked at each other for a while before he spoke again: "This time, it is impossible to escape again." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Mingji to respond, he diverted the topic again: "You know, there is a person who makes me unconvinced. ”

Li Mingji nodded lightly: "Back then, the emperor drove the poisonous snake, and Chang Tingwei commanded Lord Xie." ”

Zhuge Xiaoyu smiled and said in a calm tone: "Sure enough, you still know me better... Ever since I became the commander of the Wuyi Guard, I have been comparing myself to that dead man. Everyone said that in the past, Chang Tingwei spied the world, and where there were Yan people, there were eyes and ears of this poisonous snake, I didn't think so, and I didn't think that my Wuyi Wei was inferior to Chang Tingwei. But a few things came down one after another...... If Fat Xie was still there, maybe the Yipintou riot that night would be unavoidable, but there would never be a second fire. As for the battalion rebellion ... It's not that there have been similar things before, and the records in the file are clear, when Chang Tingwei was still there, there were three times before and after Yan General intended to lead his troops to rebel, and each time it was the same, the rebel general was still in the conspiracy stage, and he didn't have time to raise troops at all, so he was detected by Chang Tingwei and took it by thunder. ”

Zhuge Xiaoyu said a lot in one breath, and finally sighed deeply: "This is where the gap is." ”

Whether it is Zhuge Xiaoyu or the current Wuyiwei, compared to the Dayan secret agent under the command of Xie Fatzi back then, there is a whole world behind. Lord Zhuge was disheartened, and at the same time, he also understood that Mo said that Jingtai was a brutal emperor, even if he was a generation of benevolent monarchs, he would not allow himself to make so many big mistakes in a row...... He was about to become a dead man, and he never had a chance to compete with that dead man again.

"Nothing special, just to see you." Zhuge put down the fruit dew, and Li Mingji knew that he was leaving, so he also stood up: "Since you're here... It wouldn't hurt to let the Emperor wait a little longer, or... Let's not go back. ”

Zhuge shook his head and only replied: "He treats me well." ”

Li Mingji didn't say anything more, raised his arm, and covered Zhuge 's cheeks with both hands...... Li Hongyi has always been well maintained, but compared to her appearance, the skin on her hands slightly showed some traces of wind and frost, and her hands were not too good-looking, but Zhuge Xiaoyu closed her eyes and really enjoyed it.

After a while, Zhuge finally gave Li Mingji a smile and turned to leave. Li Hongyi never sent it away. When he reached the end of the corridor, there was a loud noise behind him... Li Mingji was unhappy and kicked over the cases in front of him!

Zhuge slowed down, but did not stop, and finally left.

Ye Feifei cared about everyone's sister, and when he heard the movement in the house, he pushed open the door to investigate, and the house was full of broken porcelain...... The little girl didn't know what was going on, seeing that the sister was smashing dishes and bowls, and said that the two of them had an awkward quarrel, Ye Feifei was not angry but happy, with no expression on his face but full of smiles in his eyes, and he was very happy.

Li Mingji looked sideways at Ye Feifei: "Are you very happy?" ”

Ye Feifei hesitated and hesitated, and finally nodded, plucking up the courage to say what he really thought: "Actually, I think... It's best to separate like this, everyone should know what we have to do, and Lord Zhuge 's errand... We really can't be together. ”

How could Li Mingji not understand such a truth, he just smiled after hearing this: "Everyone understands the truth, but what is the use of understanding it, can the truth be lived as a life?" ”

After speaking, he shook his head and swept away his face: "It's not a separation, you don't have to be empty... Don't worry, I'll tell. "All the things that pay the party, Li Mingji concealed it very well, Zhuge Xiaoyu didn't know anything, she never delayed the slightest rebellion because of him; But the reverse is the same, Li Mingji has never used Zhuge for his own convenience, let alone used Zhuge for his own convenience.

As she herself said, she has always made it very clear, and she is the proprietress of this green building; When she has the opportunity, she is a party payer, and she will rebel; When she was opposite to Zhuge , she was just an ordinary woman.

Ye Feifei was a little disappointed, and even a little anxious, she had wanted to say these words for a long time, but she didn't dare to say them before, but since she opened her mouth today, she simply said it in one go: "I know, everyone can tell clearly, but who can guarantee that Zhuge can also tell clearly?" ”

"No guarantee, he must not be able to tell the difference, if he knows my identity, he will be the first to arrest me, and maybe use me to catch everyone else." Li Mingji suddenly smiled, his eyes were a little dazed, so Minghao, who was not seen in his smile, was a little weird but more moving, a really good-looking smile: "But he is so stupid, he is not the material to be a secret agent at all...... I don't even know who I am. ”

After gently sighing, Li Mingji turned back to the topic: "Help me contact my son, I have something to ask him." ”

If you want to rescue Zhuge from the prison, you have to take action from Xie Men's lackeys, although Li Mingji and Mr. Bo have a relationship, but they still can't help them to do such a big thing, not to mention, Xie Men's lackeys are Chang Tingwei's desire to be evil, and it's too late to see Wu Yiwei's bad luck and happy, how can he risk saving people.

Li Mingji is smart, he knows that he can only ask Song Yang to come forward in this matter, Mr. Bo owes Fu Lao and the four countless favors, as long as he speaks, Xie Men's lackeys have no reason to refuse.

Ye Feifei was reluctant, reluctantly agreed, and muttered.

…… Zhuge Xiaoyu thought he was loyal, he didn't want the emperor to wait, but he still delayed some time in the Leaky Frost Pavilion, and when he returned to the Yamen, the eunuch who came to summon him to meet had already come for a while, and when he changed back into his official uniform and came to the palace, Jingtai was already full of impatience, slapped the table when he met, and scolded: "I want to beat you, accept or not?" ”

When the court is an important minister, a member of the three grades, the emperor can be guilty and killed, but he can't be insulted and beaten at will, and only Jingtai is ingenious, first ask 'can you fight', and if you ask, it is not an insult, and you don't lose the emperor's demeanor.

In the face of His Majesty's inquiry', who can shake his head, Zhuge Xiaoyu is no exception, and bows long: "The guilty minister will be punished and grateful." ”

The little insect had a crisp voice and beckoned to the guards outside the door: "Pass the guard." ”

In the blink of an eye, the staff guard in charge of the punishment in the palace arrived and listened to the announcement, and the little insect bowed to the emperor: "Long live, how to fight?" ”

"Three thousand and twenty scepters!" Jingtai opened his mouth and said, the little insect was startled, and the staff guard who had just entered the imperial study was even more dumbfounded... The guards never expected Banzai to be sympathetic to their subordinates, but more than 3,000 court staffs, not to mention those who were beaten, even if they beat people, they had to exhaust themselves to death.

Moreover, this punishment is not known to be huge, and there are whole zeros, which is too unusual.

Jingtai's expression remained unchanged, the majesty of the emperor was fully displayed in the imperial study, and his eyes looked at Zhuge Xiaoyu: "Beat you, but also let you understand... I said that it was okay for you to wait for more than half an hour, but now it should be the time when you are busy, but you are not in the yamen. It doesn't hurt if you don't run an errand, if you go home and spend time with your children, I still won't punish you, but you're not at home either... This is a heavy fine, and you will be fined twenty court rods, and you yourself will say whether you have earned it. ”

Zhuge Xiaoyu probably understood the emperor's temper and knew that he didn't like flowery rhetoric, so what he said about being a courtier would just follow it, and immediately said: "The minister has earned." ”

Jing Tai snorted coldly and continued: "Southwest Town Qingda rebelled, you didn't notice it in advance, you were already guilty, especially the one who annoyed people, it wasn't you who came to report to me first!" This is heavy, and you will be fined 3,000 court rods, or you will say it yourself, whether you have earned it again. ”

This is really not profitable, it is definitely a loss, but Zhuge doesn't care, three thousand court staffs? I can't count how many times I have beaten myself to death, and it is not appropriate to come ten times more, so I replied again: "The minister has earned again." ”

Jingtai laughed: "Do you think the punishment is too light?" I will multiply it tenfold according to you, a total of thirty thousand and twenty court staffs!"

The madman emperor gave more than 30,000 court scepters at once, Zhuge Xiaoyu didn't care, and the scepter guard's face turned pale......
